In the southern region of Deraa, 24 civilians – including two children – and
five rebels were killed.
Those killed elsewhere in Syria included a young girl, who died in the
northwestern city of Idlib, the Observatory added.
More than 15,000 people have been killed since the revolt against Syrian
President Bashar al-Assad’s regime began in March 2011, according to the
Observatory.
Earlier in the day, a Syrian fighter pilot on a training mission flew his
MiG-21 warplane to neighboring Jordan, where he was given asylum. The
defection from the fiercely loyal air force could signals some of the most
ironclad allegiances in Damascus are fraying. Syria immediately denounced
the pilot as a traitor.
The brazen move was a clear triumph for the rebels fighting to overthrow
President Bashar al-Assad and was the first defection by an air force
officer with his plane since the uprising began in March 2011.
The pilot, identified as Colonel Hassan Hammadeh, removed his air force tag
and knelt on the tarmac in prayer after landing at King Hussein Air Base in
Mafraq, Jordan, 45 miles north of Amman, a Jordanian security official said.
Col Hammadeh will be allowed to stay in Jordan on “humanitarian grounds,” the
official said, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity
of the matter.
“He was given asylum because if he returned home, his safety will not be
guaranteed. He may tortured or killed,” the official said. He declined to
say what Jordan will do with the jet.
