Syrian troops raid Daraa as crackdown intensifies across Syria
Thousands of troops backed by tanks and snipers moved into the southern city of Daraa before dawn. At least 11 people were killed and 14 wounded as security forces conducted house to house sweeps, cut utilities, and set up checkpoints in a bid to crush anti-government protests and intimidate residents. The assault followed similar actions near Damascus and Jableh, drawing international condemnation and calls for sanctions.
