Beirut, Feb 8 (AFP) Feb 08, 2018
The death toll from Syrian regime air strikes Thursday on the rebel-held enclave of Eastern Ghouta near Damascus rose to 36, a monitor said.

Warplanes pounded the besieged territory just east of the capital for the fourth consecutive day, striking at least six different locations, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.

Ten children and seven women were among Thursday's victims, bringing to 185 the number of civilians killed since Monday, said Rami Abdel Rahman, head of the Britain-based Observatory.
