Assad air strikes kill 13 in al-Hola near Homs

(Zaman Al Wasl)- Syrian regime air strikes on Wednesday killed at least 12 civilians, including two women and one child, near al-Hola town in the northwest of Homs city, activists said.

The air force carried out four air strikes on the villages of Tal Dahab and Kafr Laha, killing 12 people and wounding 18, according to Zaman al-Wasl reporter.

Al-Hola is among the first areas which revolted against Bashar al-Assad in March 2011.

The Syrian conflict began as a peaceful movement that morphed into a civil war that has killed more than 200,000 people and forced half the population to flee their homes.
