Syrian Regime Continues Deadly Air Strikes, Shellings 
------------------------------------------------------


 
The Syrian government continues to carry out deadly air strikes and
ground attacks on residential neighborhoods. On Tuesday, witnesses and
opposition activists claimed 18 people, including five children, were
killed in attacks on the city of Douma. The killings followed a major
air strike on the northwestern province of Idlib that reportedly left 28
civilians dead. At least 500 people were killed over the four days that
a U.N.-brokered 
ceasefire was supposed to have been in effect until it ended on Monday.
