Warplanes attack Damascus suburb
Syrian warplanes are pounding opposition strongholds around Damascus and in the north, activists said today, as President Bashar Assad’s regime intensifies air strikes against rebels seeking to topple him.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which gathers reports from a network of activists, said government jets carried out five strikes this morning in the eastern Ghouta district, a rebel stronghold close to the capital.
