Syrian army artillery hit Damascus from mountain
AMMAN |
AMMAN (Reuters) - Syrian army artillery shelled the Damascus district of Mezze and Mouadamiya suburb on Wednesday, in an escalation of attacks against areas where rebels operate, after a deadly blast that killed three top military officials, activists said.
Artillery batteries stationed on Qasioun mountains overlooking Damascus started firing intermittently at the two districts at about 7:30 p.m.(1230 EDT), the activists said.

Someone please correct me if I am wrong, but isn’t Mezze like the Manhattan borough of Damascus? The regime is shelling one of the most populated, influential areas? Good God, I am glad this just propaganda.
My prayers to the Syrians and Go Sunni! Win this thing so people can quit dying already, Go, Go Go!
