Syria

At least 20 people in the northern town of Hretaan were killed by what opposition activists claimed was a Scud missile. The Syrian Military Council claimed that a number of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard commanders were killed yesterday when Free Syrian Army forces attacked a plane allegedly carrying arms from Iran as it landed at Damascus airport. Rebels seized Dael, a key town on the road between Daraa and Damascus. A loyalist MP from Daraa said the al Qaeda-linked Al Nusrah Front has taken over much of Daraa province, which borders Jordan.
