A London-based independent rights group, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, said on Tuesday that most of the 24 deaths were in Hama, which has been the target of a heavy military operation since Sunday.
At least six civilians were killed early on Tuesday in an assault on the eastern Damascus suburb of Erbin, residents told the Reuters news agency.
'Tens of people are wounded. Six are dead, of whom three have been identified,' an activist in the suburb said.
About 1,700 civilians have been killed since the largely peaceful protests against President Bashar al-Assad's government began in mid-March, according to tallies by activists."
