Heavy fighting broke out late Sunday night between forces loyal to
Syria's President Bashar al-Assad and rebels. According to activists,
they launched small attacks on the military in the north, south and east
of the country to relieve pressure in the city of Homs.
In
Idlib, Free Syria Army fighters were said to be on alert after a warning
that tanks and heavy artillery were being moved into position around
the city.
Across the country, unconfirmed reports said 19 people died yesterday, 18 of them civilians.
In
neighbouring Lebanon, hundreds staged a protest calling for Syria's
president to be tried as a 'war criminal'. Syrian civilians have been
streaming across the border to find safety from the fighting.
Meanwhile
the Red Cross will renew attempts today to negotiate entry into
besieged Homs after being blocked from doing so for the past three days.
