PLO: 18 Palestinians Killed in Damascus
(Maan News-PA) At least 18 Palestinians were killed Thursday and their bodies displayed publicly in Damascus, the PLO office in Yarmouk said, adding that the Syrian regime "committed a massacre." At least 10 Palestinians were killed in Yarmouk a day earlier, activists said. Rebels have been hiding out in Yarmouk in recent days as hundreds of soldiers searched the area on foot and on trucks mounted with heavy machine guns. An activist called Abu Salam told Reuters that two men and a young women were shot dead when soldiers saw them running out of a park on Thursday. Another five rebels found hiding in the area were executed, he said. Syrian state television said 100 people had been arrested in Yarmouk.
