According to SANA, Ali Zeidan al-Nasser, a member of an armed terrorist group in Daraa said that after taking part in the Daraa protests, he was contacted by a man called Mohammad Mehdi al-Farawan and met him in a factory belonging to al-Nasser's cousin, where he met the aforementioned man along with Najdat al-Zoebi, Abdelraouf al-Nasser, sheikh Tarek al-Nasser, sheikh Abdelbaset Abbas, Marwan al-Eid, Mohammad Hamdi al-Zaghel, Fayez Sleiman al-Farawan, Mohammad al-Aloun, Haitham al-Shemari and other youths.

Al-Nasser said that during their meeting they discussed the protests in Daraa, saying that they should support Daraa and increase protests in Enkhel, and decided to organize four committees: medical, military, financial and media committees.

He said the media committee was charged with information, slogans and buying two Thuraya phones to contact foreign channels about occurrences during protests, while the financial committee was tasked with collecting money to buy weapons. The military committee, which consists of al-Nasser himself, Jamal Hamadeh, Marwan al-Eid and some youths, was charged with managing guards placed after protest to guard towns.

al-Nasser said that the medical committee, was tasked with providing aid to the wounded and buying medical supplies.

Another terrorist, al-Zeir, said "The weapons were mostly rifles and pistols... we intended to give them to the people responsible for guarding the area... Abu Ali Bayyasi had been bringing the weapons and storing them at a cache underneath al-Rahman mosque."
"The weapons were arriving from Lebanon, Abdelkader used to go to the border area to bring them to Bayyasi," he added.
