Renewed bombing of Syria’s Eastern Ghouta reportedly kills 18
Renewed Syrian army bombardment of rebel-held Eastern Ghouta outside Damascus on Monday killed 18 people, including two children, despite a ceasefire deal for the region, a monitor says.
Eastern Ghouta, one of the last remaining opposition strongholds in Syria, is among four so-called “de-escalation zones” set up earlier this year under a deal agreed by regime allies Russia and Iran, and rebel supporter Turkey.
But despite the deal, violence has spiraled in the area in recent days.
