5 children killed in mortar fire on Syria school
At least five children were killed after mortars crashed into their school in a rebel-held town east of Damascus, said local activists.
The children of the Haya School in the town of Qaboun were struck by three mortars, said a local activist who uses the name Abu Akram al-Shami. Another local activist, Amar al-Hassan, based near Damascus, also confirmed the incident, as did Rami Abdurrahman of the Britain-based Syrian Observatory For Human Rights.
