The death toll from recent air raids and shelling in the Syrian capital Damascus rose to 75 after an opposition rights group revised the number of people slain in the rebel-held eastern Ghouta on Tuesday. The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said that Sunday's air raids had killed 38 people in Kafr Batna and 26 in the rebel stronghold of Douma. Eleven of those killed were children, the group said. A further 11 civilians were killed when rebels shelled the government-held eastern suburb of Duweilaa, local residents told dpa.
