Protesters, soldiers exchange fire, casualties
At least 30 civilians and 26 soldiers were killed in Syria ahead of Friday prayers, activists said, as a seven-month crackdown on pro-democracy protests becomes more violent and attacks on security forces increase.
To date, the article says that 20-100 soldiers have been killed so far, so today’s attack represents a significant increase in fatalities among Assad’s forces. The protesters are not just going to go away.
