In Syria the madness continues as usual, because elsewhere the indifference does.
Today’s Death toll: 71. The Breakdown: the toll includes 10 defected soldiers. 21 were killed in the shelling of Deir Ezozr City, 12 in Aleppo, 11 in Idlib, 6 in Homs, 5 in Hama, 7 in Damascus (5 in Suburbs, 2 in City) and 4 in Daraa.
Doctors from the Damascene Suburb of Douma report that many dead bodies are still lying un-reclaimed in many side streets, and that the stench of decomposition is filling the air. They caution locals from attempting a return to the suburb at this stage and until such time as local activists have finished cleaning up, a task complicated by patrols and sniper activities by pro-Assad militias.
For months now, the city of Deir Ezzor in the northeastern parts of Syria has come under sporadic bombardments by pro-Assad troops and militias, without showing any signs of weakness or surrender. On the contrary, in recent weeks, local resistance groups managed to take over most loyalist checkpoints in the city establishing de facto control over it. This led to an intensification of the bombardment by loyalist militias. For the most part, the regime relied on recruits from Sunni tribes in the adjacent provinces of Raqqah and Hassakeh, but tribal loyalties continued to trump regime loyalties, and the rates of defections continued to increase daily, leading the regime to realize that the situation can never be brought under control under these conditions. For this reason, the regime has been sending reinforcements made up mostly of Alawite recruits. As of yesterday, the numbers of the reinforcements reached over 3,000 troops, backed with tanks, armored vehicles and heavy artillery. As a result, the pounding has escalated to a dramatic degree, and loyalist troops seem poised to invade the city any minute now.
The fall of Deir Ezzor, should it take place, is unlikely to end the resistance, as local fighters are bound to withdraw in time and fall back on the usual and proven tactics of Guerilla Warfare. Nonetheless, a regime that is still willing to send 3,000 Alawite troops as far as Deir Ezzor City is not one that is crumbling. Alternatively this could be a major miscalculation on part of whoever is in charge of military operations at this stage.
