Syria 's interim rulers are trying to form a united national army after the fall of Bashar Assad late last year .

The southern province of Daraa is widely seen as the cradle of the Syrian uprising in 2011 .

Factions in the southern provinces reactivated, forming a joint operations room to coordinate with northern ones.

Some factions have taken a wait-and-see approach before they agree to dissolve and hand over their weapons to the state.

Local armed factions are still the de facto security forces in many areas.

The new police chief in Daraa city appointed by the HTS-led government, Badr Abdel Hamid , joined local officials in the town of Nawa to discuss plans for a police force.
