The group said that most of the raids were late at night, noting that they took place violently with regime forces broke doors and windows of the houses in a bid to frighten people.

Concerning the protests, the opposition group said that 33 demonstrations took place, noting that 100 of them were met by live bullets and other internationally prohibited weapons.
