(Zaman Al Wasl)- Douma’s death toll has increased to 120 in 6 days as Syrian regime has been intensifying its aerial campaign against rebel-held city near Damascus, activists said.
On Monday, activists said Syrian regime air force had continued its strikes on Douma, the capital of Eastern Ghouta suburbs, killing 70 people after targeting popular market and two medical centers.
Towns of the Eastern Ghouta have become a clear target to the Syrian regime air force since last week. The war planes have carried out more than hundreds of air strikes that killed more than 300 people, according to field activists.
Pro-Assad activists say the gruesome revenge of Eastern Ghouta suburbs is a response to 300-rocket attack by key Islamist group which killed 10 people last Thursday.
Zahran Alloush, Islam Army’s commander said in a message on his Twitter account the last attack was a "taste" of what the Syrian military had done to Ghouta.
He described Damascus as a "military zone" in a statement earlier this week and said his group would respond to Syrian air force strikes on Ghouta.
More than 220,000 people have been killed since the conflict in Syria erupted in March 2011.
