The Syrian Observatory for
Human Rights said that the Syrian forces shelled on Sunday a number of
neighborhoods in Damascus as heavy battles are taking place between regime and
opposition fighters in various areas in Syria.
The Observatory added that a
civilian died and others were wounded in shelling across Damascus and added
that regime forces are trying to take control over southern neighborhoods of
the Syrian capital.
As for the North, Aleppo and
its surroundings are witnessing severe clashes that are affecting the city and
neighboring towns.
Israel fired artillery into Syria in response to gunfire aimed at its troops in the Israeli-controlled Golan Heights, and may have killed Syrian soldiers, Israel's army said on Sunday.
There were no reported injuries on the Israeli side from the shootings, which occurred on Saturday, the third case this month of violence seen as a spillover of civil unrest in Syria that has also alarmed other neighbours such as Lebanon and Turkey.
"There was small arms fire (at Israeli forces), there was a response and from what I hear over Arab media it appears Syrian soldiers were killed," Brigadier-General Yoav Mordechai, Israel's chief military spokesman, told Army Radio.
He said Israel was trying not to be dragged into battles between Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's forces and rebels. The chaos of the 20-month-old insurgency often makes independent assessment of casualties within Syria difficult.

"It's as if it

mandate in Syria after World War I.
