The Syrian government on Friday accused the opposition armed groups of shelling the Yarmouk refugee camp in Damascus, the biggest camp for Palestinian refugees in Syria, with mortars. The Syrian News Agency (SANA) reported that a Syrian army unit is currently hunting a number of opposition militants who fired mortars on the camp to kill and injure scores of civilian Palestinians. The militants have also opened fire on the state ambulances which rushed to the camp to take the injured people to hospitals for treatment, SANA added.
