BEIRUT, (APP/AFP): At least 21 civilians, including seven
children, were killed on Thursday in regime air strikes that targeted several towns in central Syria, a monitoring group said.
Fourteen civilians — four of them children — were killed when a
barrage of barrel bombs hit the town of Al-Houla and neighbouring villages, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
Barrel bombs are indiscriminate weapons typically dropped from
helicopters.
