ِThe death toll of the Syrian regime air strike on Hamoria village near
Damascus has topped 65, opposition activists said on Friday. Syrian government
officials were not immediately available to comment on the reported
attack in Hamoria, a district in the Eastern Ghouta area that has been
besieged by security forces. The
opposition Syrian Media Organization posted footage on YouTube of
several bodies lying on a blood-stained floor, some of them children
with blast wounds. The opposition grassroots Local Coordination Committees said on its Facebook page that the strike hit a public square where people were leaving a mosque after Friday prayers. Another opposition group, the Shaam News Network, published a video on its Facebook page showing what it said was the aftermath of a blast in an open square. Bodies lay on the road and buildings were damaged. The United Nations
says 200,000 people have been killed in Syria's civil war, which started
after security forces cracked down on pro-democracy protests in 2011. (With Reuters)
