Report: Security forces kill 30 across Syria

Thirty people were killed by security forces across Syria on Saturday, Al-Arabiya reported, citing witnesses.

The British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported that Syrian troops backed by 26 tanks stormed the northwestern town of Saraqeb on Saturday in the latest of a series of pushes by regime forces into rebel-held areas, but faced strong resistance from defending army defectors.
