BEIRUT -- The monitoring group Syrian Observatory for Human Rights is reporting that two children and an adult civilian have been killed since the US-Russian-brokered cease-fire took effect three days ago.
The group says the children were killed in government-held areas and the civilian died in rebel-held Aleppo.
The Britain-based Observatory, which relies on a network of activists on the ground, said one girl was killed when missiles fired by rebels fell a northern village in the southern province of Quneitra. Another child died of wounds sustained earlier from sniper fire in al-Masharfeh, a government-held neighborhood in Aleppo city. The third casualty, according to the Observatory, was a civilian who also died by sniper fire in the rebel-held part of Aleppo.
