ISIS arrested a number of civilians in south Damascus for the possession of cigarettes. According to our correspondent, members of ISIS searched the civilians returning from Yelda town to Yarmouk camp and detained a number of men and women after finding cigarettes with them, which ISIS finds violating to the laws it has imposed in south Damascus.
There were reports that ISIS would impose sanctions including skinning those who have previously committed "offense" and the first-time imprisonment of its perpetrators.
Meanwhile, ISIS is continuing its tightening procedures on the residents of Yarmouk camp and those besieged in Rijh Square, as well as Heifa and Soforeya Roads which lie west of the camp.
Yesterday afternoon, ISIS reopened the crossing between Yarmouk camp and Yelda, after closing it in the morning and banning residents and students from leaving the camp and heading to the neighboring towns, without providing clarifications for this step.
For his part, activist Abdullah Al-Khatib, Director of Al-Wattd Center, spoke about the suffering of Yarmouk camp’s residents, as a result of the continued closure of the only port that provides the people with the necessary food supplies to continue living there, in a video that circulated on a number of Facebook pages.
He pointed out that the practices of ISIS inside Yarmouk camp are part of the general policy pursued by it to evacuate the camp from its population and push them out of it, in order to take over the camp completely.
The remaining residents of Yarmouk camp are suffering from extremely tough humanitarian conditions as a result of the siege imposed on the camp and the closure of all ports and roads to the Syrian capital Damascus. The Syrian regime has imposed a total siege on Yarmouk since mid-2013.
It also recently closed Al-Qadam Road that provided the camp with food and medicine, and finally Yelda crossing was closed due to the deteriorating security condition between ISIS and the armed Syrian opposition groups in Yelda.
