The conflict among factions in Syria has been intensifying ahead of possible U.S. strikes against Islamic State fighters there. Two days of Syrian government airstrikes have killed at least 48 people in Homs province. The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights says at least six children are among the dead. Islamic State fighters, meanwhile, announced they had shot down a Syrian military aircraft in the northern city of Raqqa.
