The people of Masyaf town demonstrated against the Assad regime demanding to know the fate of their sons who are besieged in the Deir Ezzor airbase which is being attacked by rebel fighters. Families of the besieged soldiers fear a repletion of the Tabaka air base scenario, when ISIS militants overran the base and executed dozens of pro-regime soldiers. An eyewitness told Al Jazeera TV channel that security forces failed to disperse the demonstrators who spoke up stressing that their sons are not mere numbers or cannon fodder used only to defend Assad’s throne.
