"One thing about Nawa it was always government held the town was changed based on an article that said that the government bombed a colum of refugees in Nawa(never even said was it near or outside the town).But I will argue this if anyone has followed the conflict will remember that in late August Reuters published a story that Nawa was firmly under the control of the Army then in November another article I think it was Al-Monitor said ""the Army stronghold of Nawa"" this was during the Quamlamon offensive when it reported the rebels might strike back in Deraa and now we come at last to this article that again states that Nawa is government controlled(rebel statement).
