Airstrikes Killed 24 in 2 Rebel-Held Syrian Towns; Three of Those Killed by Govt. Forces Are Children

At least 12 people were killed in airstrikes on the rebel-held western Syrian town of  Rastan today (July 13, 2016), according to the Reuters website.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights also said another 12 people were killed in rebel-controlled Ariha -- north of Rastan -- including three children.

Rastan -- about 100 miles north of Damascus -- is part of a rebel-held pocket of territory surrounded by government forces.

Ariha -- further north -- is in the rebel-controlled province of Idlib, and borders Turkey.
