Syrian forces attack rebel-held areas of Homs, Deraa, Damacus - monitors

Beirut, Feb 18 (Reuters) Syrian warplanes bombarded a besieged rebel-held district of Homs, southern Deraa and insurgent areas in Damascus's outskirts today in what appeared to be intensifying assaults in the west of the country, monitors said.
Much of western Syria is covered by an ongoing but shaky ceasefire between the government and rebels that took effect on December 30, but fighting has rumbled on, with warring sides accusing each other of truce violations as peace talks loom in Geneva next week.
On Damascus's northeastern outskirts, Syrian government forces attacked the rebel-held Qaboun and Barzeh districts with rockets and shells and killed at least nine people, the British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitoring group said.
