75 Syria rebels die in Damascus battles
Syrian government troops killed at least 75 rebels over 24
hours in battles for control of the capital Damascus. 49 rebels killed in an
ambush in Damascus' northeastern suburb of Adra early Sunday. Damascus and its
suburbs have been a key battlefield for over a year, with rebels trying to push
into its center from strongholds in the suburbs. The Observatory reported that
another 17 rebels died in fighting Sunday in clashes in Damascus neighborhoods
of Qaboun and Jobar, while another nine were killed in clashes that have raged
in the suburbs of Daraya, Harasta and Douma. More than 93,000 people have died
in Syria's conflict, which started in largely peaceful protests against Assad
but turned into a civil war.
