(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - The number of Palestinian martyrs in refugees camps in Syria has risen since the start of the conflict between the formal and free armies, to 855, while the bombing and siege of the Yarmouk Palestinian refugee camp in Damascus continues.

According to the international working group for Palestinian refugees in Syria, the total number of martyrs of the Palestinian refugees in Syria reached until today 855 martyrs since the start of the Syrian revolution.

The Yarmouk refugee camp was exposed to heavy fire and shelling by Syrian forces loyal to Syrian regime, leading to significant damage in the camp.

The coordinating committee of Yarmouk refugee camp stated that regime forces, stationed in the Sufian al-Thawri barracks in al-Ka'a neighborhood, fired dozens mortars at the Yarmouk refugee camp for the second consecutive day.

In another development, media sources confirmed that the Israeli army began building a new "security wall" along the border area between the occupied Golan and the rest of the Syrian territory.

The sources said that the Israeli War Ministry seeks to complete the security wall construction before fall of the Assad regime, in anticipation of possible attacks on the Israeli entity from Syrian territory.

The security wall will be started from "Hamma" area to the Quneitra crossing north of the occupied Golan.

It is noted that the establishment of a security fence on the border with Syria and then with Jordan means that the occupation authorities began living in an isolated area closed from all sides, except the sea side.

The Israeli authorities had built a fence along the border with Egypt, in addition to the electronic fence with the Gaza Strip. They have recently embarked on building a fence within the territory of the occupied Syrian Golan. There is also a security fence along the border with Lebanon, as well as a concrete wall barrier in the West Bank.
