The so-called Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said Sunday that eight people were killed after a mortar shell hit a restaurant in the government-controlled ancient quarter of Damascus.<\/p>\n
The UK-based monitoring group said dozens were also wounded in the attack, which targeted the ancient quarter of Bab Touma, adding that the attack also targeted several other neighborhoods of the city.<\/p>\n
The official news agency, SANA, meanwhile, said that four shells fired by terrorist groups on Bab Touma neighborhood killed five civilians, injured 16 others and caused material damage to private and public properties.<\/p>\n
