Strike on Syria's Ghouta Kills 15 Children Sheltering in School

An air strike on a school in Syria's Eastern Ghouta late Monday killed 15 children and two women who were using its basement as a bomb shelter, a monitor said.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the bombing raid hit Arbin, a key town in a dwindling rebel-held pocket of Ghouta that has been under attack by government troops for over a month.
