Car bomb explodes in Syrian capital despite truce

Share:

Syria’s state-run media say a car bomb has exploded in Damascus, causing a number of casualties.

The blast on the southern edge of the city comes despite a holiday truce that went into effect Friday morning.

The cease-fire proposed by the U.N.-Arab League envoy to Syria, Lakhdar Brahimi, has been marred by scattered violence and fighting in several towns and cities across the country.

State-owned SANA news agency says the car bomb in the Daff el-Shouq area of Damascus caused significant material damage and a number of casualties.

It did not give specific figures or say what the target was. Car bombs targeting Syrian security forces in the capital have become common in Syria amid the raging civil war.

    Luke 17:24-30………
    24 For as the lightning that flashes out of one part under heaven shines to the other part under heaven, so also the Son of Man will be in His day. 25 But first He must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation. 26 And as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man: 27 They ate, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all. 28 Likewise as it was also in the days of Lot: They ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built; 29 but on the day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all. 30 Even so will it be in the day when the Son of Man is revealed……….

    Truce? What kind of truce is that when in spite of ceasing or reducing gunfire, hundreds upon hundreds are having their fingernails pulled, their eyeballs emptied, their bones cracked and their bodies burnt alive and electrified as we speak? Truce my ass.
