None
Air strikes on Wednesday and Thursday have doubled the death toll in the Syrian army's 10-day offensive against insurgents in the southwest, rebels and a monitor said.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said air strikes killed at least 46 people in those two days in rebel-held parts of Deraa province. It said the dead included 17 people, among them five children, sheltering in a basement in the town of al-Musayfrah.
