48 killed in Syrian airstrikes

Syrian government airstrikes have killed nearly 50 people in a rebel-held city this week.

The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said it counted 48 killed in two days of strikes on the city of Talbiseh.

The death toll is unusually high, even by the standards of the Syrian civil war.

Similar information was reported by a local Talbiseh activist group.

The Observatory said leading members of a rebel group were killed in the attacks on Monday and Tuesday, but did not identify which one. The bombings also crushed families under rubble, both groups reported.

State-run media said the army had targeted a meeting of “terrorists”.
