Syrian military forces Wednesday attacked several areas in the dissident southern province of Daraa, an opposition organization said dpa reported

"The onslaught is on the scale of the one the regime has been unleashing against Homs since the early hours (of Wednesday)," said Asil Abdullah of the Syrian Media Centre in Daraa.

He told the broadcaster Al Arabiya it was difficult to specify casualties in Daraa in what he said was a massive scale offensive in response to defections from the army.
