This video shows heavy fire in Darayya, located just south of the city of Damascus, which took place on February 4. Several loud blasts can be heard followed by what appears to be gunshots. A large group can be seen running from the area where the blasts appear to originate. The uploader identifies these people as “mourners”. There are also several small fires burning in the area where the video is being recorded.
