Hundreds of Syrian troops have stormed the Damascus suburb of Saqba during the night - breaking into houses and making many arrests, witnesses say.
Saqba was the scene of a big, peaceful protest against the regime last week.
Tanks and troops are also reported to have been sent to other trouble spots, amid fresh reports of anti-government demonstrations in Homs and Hama.
