The main hospital in the southern Syrian city of Daraa has received the bodies of at least 25 demonstrators who died in a confrontation with security forces, a hospital official told Reuters on Thursday. Security forces opened fire on hundreds of people at the northern entrance to the city yesterday afternoon, according to witnesses.
There were unconfirmed reports that dozens more bodies were taken to Tafas hospital outside the city, they added.
So far, at least 32 civilians have been killed in the protests, which started last Friday.
