The Syrian vice president has been quoted as saying neither the government nor the opposition can win the war in the country. Farouq al-Sharaa told a Lebanese newspaper that Syria needed a historic settlement involving a government of national unity. Correspondents say the government hasn't acknowledged that it can't win the conflict, but they add that there have been false reports about Mr. al-Sharaa before. Earlier, activists said government warplanes, for the first time, fired rockets at a Palestinian refugee camp in Damascus, killing at least 15 people.
据悉叙利亚副总统称,无论是政府还是反对派都无法赢得该国的战争。法鲁克·沙雷在接受黎巴嫩一家报纸的采访时说,叙利亚需要在国民统一政府的参与下进行历史性的和解。记者称政府并未表示不会赢得战斗,但他们说之前有关沙雷的报道是错误的。早些时候,活动人士称政府战机首次用火箭弹轰击了大马士革一处巴勒斯坦难民营,杀死至少15人。
