26 Syrians killed in violence

DAMASCUS: At least 19 people were killed on Tuesday by rebel rocket fire on government-held parts of Syria’s northern city of Aleppo, state media said.
State television also reported 95 people wounded in rocket attacks on neighbourhoods in the west of Aleppo.
That area is controlled by regime forces while rebels are in the east of the city.
Rebels often fire rockets and makeshift missiles into the west, while the regime carries out aerial bombardment of the city’s east.
Elsewhere, state media said seven people were killed in a car bombing in Hasakeh, a day after twin suicide car bomb attacks in the northeastern city.
State news agency SANA said at least 21 people were wounded in the attack, which was later claimed by the Islamic State (IS) group in a statement on social media.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a Britain-based monitor, said the attack targeted a position of the Kurdish People’s Protection Units (YPG).
