(Zaman Al Wasl)- A family of six, including father, mother and four children, were killed on Monday in Madyara town as Syrian regime forces step up shelling on the besieged Eastern Ghouta suburbs near Damascus, topping the death toll to 80 in a week of heavy bombing.
The regime army backed by Russian jets launched major offensive on Ghouta after rebels stormed an army complex in the heart of the city’s Eastern Ghouta region that has defied opposition assaults since the start of the conflict, Reuters reported.
The fortress-like Military Vehicles Administration in the regime-held part of Harasta town has long been used to strike at the densely populated Eastern Ghouta, where over 300,000 people live under siege.
More than 470,000 people are estimated to have been killed and millions displaced in the Syrian war, which began in 2011.
