Syrian Forces Kill 13 in Idlib

Syrian security forces have raided the armed gangs’ command center on the outskirts of the northeastern city of Idlib, killing 13 of them.

This after a bomb explosion in the village of Kafr Roma near Idlib on Friday which killed three soldiers and three civilians, including a four-year-old child.

Reports say armed gangs are using wounded civilians as human shields in the city.
Meanwhile, violent clashes continue in the Al Tal suburb of Damascus. 
The latest clashes between Syrian forces and armed groups come at a time when the anti-Syria Western regimes have been calling for President Bashar al-Assad to step down. 

On July 23, foreign ministers of the Arab League also called on Assad to step down after an emergency meeting in Qatar. 

Syrian Foreign Ministry spokesman Jihad Makdissi censured the Arab League stance in a press conference in Damascus on the same day. 

“All who take up weapons in the face of the state will be responded [to] in the same way,” Makdissi told reporters. 

Syria has been experiencing unrest since March 2011 and many people, including large numbers of security forces, have been killed in the turmoil.
