At least 23 killed across Syria

In central Hama province, five people were killed by gunfire, including a
woman, when regime forces raided the village of Al-Tamanaa Al-Ghab, the
Britain-based watchdog said, adding that 18 people were wounded and several
houses set on fire.

A man and his son were killed and 10 other people wounded when they were shot
by regime forces in the town of Qusayr in central Homs province, where armed
rebel groups have strongholds, the watchdog added.

Also in Homs, a civilian was killed by sniper fire in the town of Rastan.

Outside Damascus, a civilian was shot dead by regime forces at a checkpoint in
Dmeir, while another two were killed by regime forces in the capital’s
northern suburb of Douma, according to the Observatory

A rebel commander, Abu Adi, was killed in overnight clashes with regime forces
in Douma, while an officer who deserted the army died in a dawn ambush in
the eastern province of Deir Ezzor.

Regime forces killed two more civilians in northwest Idlib province and
another in the town of Anadan in northern Aleppo province.

The Local Coordination Committees (LCC), a coalition of opposition activists
on the ground, said the Syrian army shelled Douma early Sunday and that
heavy gunfire was also heard in the suburb.

More than 12,000 people, the majority of them civilians, have died since the
Syrian uprising began in March last year, according to the Observatory,
including more than 900 killed since the April 12 truce went into effect.
