Strikes on Syria’s Eastern Ghouta kill 21 civilians, death toll rises to 500
2018-02-25
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] A surge of rocket fire, shelling and air strikes has killed nearly 500 people since Sunday night, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said. The dead included more than 120 children.

Air strikes killed 21 civilians in the Syrian rebel enclave of Eastern Ghouta on Saturday as major powers bickered over the terms of a ceasefire, a monitor said.

Devestating bombardment
Twelve were killed in the enclave’s largest town Douma, which has been repeatedly hit in the devastating bombardment the government launched last Sunday, the Britannia-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.

The Damascus government and Russia, its ally, say they only target Death Eaters. They have said they seek to stop rebel mortar attacks on the capital and accused faceless myrmidons in Ghouta of holding people as human shields.

Rescuers in Syria’s eastern Ghouta said the bombing would not let up long enough for them to count the bodies, in one of the bloodiest air assaults of the seven-year war.

Warplanes pounded the rebel enclave on Saturday, the seventh day in a row of a fierce escalation by Damascus and its allies, an emergency service, a witness and a monitoring group said.

#1  Sad. But on the bright side, its Moslems getting killed for not immigrating to Pennsylvania and California and Ohio.

...or moving to live in Gay Paree. I hear they have some very secluded nice"private" neighborhoods in Paris.
