From the early hours, people began to go out into the streets and markets to buy food and their basic necessities, amid a shortage of products.

Also, the General Command of the Damascus Chamber of Operations issued a series of statements calling for the preservation of public and private property, and disarming those who fired in the air.

It also called on workers and employees to address their ministries and institutions to resume the provision of services to citizens.

The calm in Damascus was interrupted by the sounds of Israeli shelling of military positions and bases around Damascus, in particular the mountains west of the capital where the infrastructure of the army’s fourth division is located.

Israel took advantage of the political situation in the country and its forces occupied Mount Hermon, considered the highest peak in Syria at 1814 meters, as well as occupied a border strip that includes the buffer zone.
