“Syrian troops on Wednesday shelled two Damascus districts before storming the neighborhoods and conducting house-to-house raids in search of opposition fighters, killing at least 23 suspected rebels, activists said.
Regime forces rained mortars down on the upscale Kafar Soussa neighborhood and the adjacent Nahr Eishah area at daybreak, according to activists. The shelling apparently came from Qasioun mountain overlooking the capital, a Damascus resident said on condition of anonymity for fear of retribution.”
