Before dawn, Syria\u2019s army stormed Daraa, which has  been the main center point in the campaign against President Bashar  al-Assad. Without warning, the army, complete with tanks and snipers,  harassed the town, reportedly killing anything that moved. In the past  week, violence has increased, with more than 100 people being killed.  This last act can be seen as nothing more than a new phase in an attempt  to quill further demonstrations. The Obama administration has taken  action by freezing U.S. assets of senior Syrian officials and by denying  them permission to travel to the U.S.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In addition on Monday, the U.S. State department ordered all  non-essential U.S. embassy members in Damascus and all embassy  dependents to leave the country. The department also urged all Americans  to leave the country as well due to the recent increase of violence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Monday, April 25th, the violence in Syria escalated, leading towards more than 25 deaths.
