Shelling renews with breakdown of another truce in three Syrian towns
A brief ceasefire Friday night in the battle for the Syrian town of Zabadani near the Lebanese border and two Shiite villages, Kefraya and Foua, to the north, broke down early Saturday in renewed shelling, air strikes and clashes, Syrian opposition groups report. The truce, the second this month, was negotiated between the Syrian army and the Lebanese group Hezbollah, fighting for more than a month to recover Zabadani, and Syrian rebels holding the town.
