In the same province, security forces killed a 16-year-old youth after it
opened fire at random in the village of Khatab, said the Observatory.
Security forces also shot dead a civilian in the town of Inkhel, southern
Dera’a province, where the uprising against Assad’s iron-fisted rule erupted
in March 2011.
Meanwhile, regime forces shelled the rebel neighbourhoods of Khaldiyeh and
Bayyada in the central city of Homs.
The Observatory said the areas were being targeted by mortars as the army
attempted to seize control of the few old districts of the flashpoint city
that remain held by rebels.
The security forces now control some 70 per cent of Homs, which has seen some
of the biggest losses of life of the 13-month uprising in Syria.
On Sunday, regime forces and pro-Assad gunmen killed nine civilians, bringing
to 41 the number of people killed since Thursday, the day a UN-backed
ceasefire entered into force.
The first batch of international observers tasked with monitoring the truce
brokered by the UN-Arab League peace envoy Kofi Annan arrived Sunday in
Syria, a UN spokesman said.
The six observers who arrived are the first of 30 monitors who were approved
by the UN Security Council in a vote Saturday. The others are expected to
arrive in coming days.
