The Syrian government continues to carry out deadly air strikes and ground attacks on residential neighborhoods. On Tuesday, witnesses and opposition activists claimed 18 people, including five children, were killed in attacks on the city of Douma. The killings followed a major air strike on the northwestern province of Idlib that reportedly left 28 civilians dead. At least 500 people were killed over the four days that a U.N.-brokered
ceasefire was supposed to have been in effect until it ended on Monday.
