Warplanes on Wednesday pounded suburbs of Damascus as regime forces fought to reclaim rebel-held areas of the capital, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
The Britain-based watchdog, which uses a countrywide network of activists and doctors to compile its tolls, said at least 123 people were killed on Tuesday, including some 30 in and around Damascus.
Damascus has now become the focus of clashes. President Bashar al-Assad's forces on Tuesday blasted a string of rebel zones on the eastern and southwestern outskirts of the city.
