In a separate attack on another nightclub on Saturday night, the Syrian Ministry of Interior announced the arrest of several armed individuals involved in an attack on civilians in a Damascus neighborhood. This arrest came after video footage emerged documenting the incident inside a restaurant and a nightclub called Layali al-Sharq.
Syrian News Agency quoted the Interior Ministry's media office as saying, "A video clip captured by a surveillance camera has been circulated on social media showing a number of military personnel assaulting a group of individuals in a neighborhood of the capital."
