At least 12 people were killed and 25 others wounded when the Syrian air force carried out four air strikes against a rebel-held town in southern Syria Monday, a monitoring group reported.
The Syrian warplanes struck the town of Jassem in the countryside of the southern province of Daraa, the oppositional Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said, adding that the death toll could rise due to the numbers of critically wounded people, Xinhua reported.
The Observatory said it had documented 2014 air strikes carried out by the Syrian warplanes on rebel-held areas nationwide this month.
It said the month-long air strikes killed 271 civilians and 190 rebel fighters.
