Clashes Between Rebels and Government Forces Continue in Syria Ahead of Talks on UN Security Council Resolution

Syrian Observatory for Human Rights is reporting that there is violence in nearly every province

(Reuters)—Syrian warplanes struck rebel-held areas and clashes between militants and government forces continued unabated on Wednesday, residents and opposition groups said, while key powers met to forge a deal that would eliminate Syrian chemical weapons.

Activists said President Bashar al-Assad's air force hit the neighborhood of Berze, a northeastern part of central Damascus, where rebels are trying to push further into the city.

Air strikes and skirmishes are countrywide but the key fight is in the capital, where Assad controls central districts but has lost suburbs.
