A number of people were killed and wounded as Syrian troops swept into the flashpoint southern town of Daraa with tanks and snipers on Monday, according to rights activists who were reached by telephone.
They said a 3,000-strong military force swarmed into Daraa early Monday, with tanks taking up positions in the town centre and snipers deploying on rooftops.
The activists said they were not able to count the casualties as the snipers made it impossible to reach them.
"Bodies are lying in the streets and we can't recover them," one activist said.
