The majority of sources blamed the regime for the strikes on Daraa Al Balad. However, Syrian Civil Defense pointed out that both Russia and the regime have been carrying out strikes and have been involved with the conflict in Dara’a and Horan Free Media blamed ” regime forces and Iranian militias” for bombing civilian homes with “mortars and tanks”.
