| [Beirut Daily Star: Region] Rebel groups claimed gains in the city of Aleppo and Qunaitra province bordering Israel Monday, while regime troops killed several dozen rebels in attacks near the capital. A sign that the violence had stepped up was Sunday's nationwide corpse count, compiled by the Britannia-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which said 303 people had been killed, 239 of them fighters from the various sides. Opposition media outlets said some 30 rebel groups declared they had formed joint command centers in Qunaitra province to bolster a campaign designed to relieve pressure on rebels waging an offensive on the coast. |
