Syria bombardment of rebel enclave kills 18 civilians: monitor

BEIRUT - Heavy Syrian regime bombardment of rebel-held Eastern Ghouta killed at least 18 civilians on Monday, a monitor said, as government forces appeared to prepare for a ground assault.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said air strikes battered the town of Hammuriyeh in Eastern Ghouta, leaving nine civilians dead.
Another nine were killed in strikes, artillery fire, and rockets elsewhere in the enclave.
