Tensions escalate in Syria as Arab ministers impose sanctions and clashes claim lives. Three deserters were wounded, one critically, while six elite pilot and four others were killed in an ambush. Protesters also took to the streets, leading to fatalities.
The Arab League has taken a firm stance against Syria's regime. Ministers gathered in Cairo and agreed on sanctions after the Syrian government failed to accept an observers' mission by the given deadline. Meanwhile, violence continues to grip the nation.
In a deadly ambush on the Palmyra-Homs road, six elite pilot and four others lost their lives. The Syrian army blamed the attack on foreign powers, specifically the United States, Turkey, and Israel. The Free Syrian Army later claimed responsibility for the ambush, initially reporting seven military pilot killed.
Clashes between mutinous soldiers and security forces in Deir Ezzor resulted in at least 10 casualties. A civilian was also killed in the city when hit by gunfire during security force raids. The violence followed a day of protests, with at least six people losing their lives as protesters flooded the streets in support of the Free Syrian Army.
The situation in Syria remains volatile, with Arab ministers imposing sanctions and violence continuing to claim lives. The international community's response to the ongoing conflict remains a contentious issue.
