Syrian activists say at least 110 people have been killed by Government Air strikes targeting a rebelheld town. They say more than 300 others were wounded in the attack on a crowded market in douma just outside the capital damascus. Syrias air force has confirmed it carried out the air strikes in douma. Al jazeera has the latest. Reporter the opposition is calls it a massacre. Dozens killed and wounded. Douma is a rebel stronghold. It regularly comes under attack. The airraids targeting a marketplace. What we understand is after the first strike people gathered at the site of the explosion, and they were trying to help evacuate the people when more raids were carried out. So really that explains the high casualty toll. Like i mentioned, the air strikes in this region happens regularly, but this is being seen as a message from the syrian government. Just yesterday opposition groups promised to, quote, ignite all front lines across the country. The reason why they decided to do that is because they broke off negotiations with the government on a possible deal. There were negotiations taking place that involved two front lines in syria. One in the damascus countryside and another in the north in the villages. There were negotiations, but what we understand from the opposition is they suspended their participation altogether because theyre accusing the government of wanting to carry out a population swap. According to the opposition, the government wants to move the shia villagers who live in idlib to governmentcontrolled territories, and theyre demanding that the sunni residents leave with opposition fighters to the north of the country. The targets of two besieged towns in the oppositioncontrolled northern prof ins of idlib, a contrary ceasefire has collapsed. Rebels have resumed an assault, and thousands there are mostly supporters of president Bashir Al Assad and are sierra. Its difficult for the government to protect them. Thats why it wants to transfer them to safer areas as part of a deal. But the opposition pulled out of the negotiations. The rebel group that was negotiating on behalf of the opposition said the governments main ally iran wants to partition the country. Over recent days there were talks to give rebels who are trapped inside the town of zebadani in the damascus countryside safe passage iran also demanded they leave as a way to get sunni muslims out of of the countryside and areas along want lebanese border. Theyve been focusing on securing the most strategy valuable territory and that has been around the town and along the key transport routes west towards lebanon. Weve seen all the way since the summer of 2013 to some extent that policy beginning to take shape. Reporter for the government and its allies, the town is important. Recapturing it would help to secure the international highway that links lebanon and syria and further consolidate their control of an enclave that includes the region on the board, damascus, homs and the coastal cities which are home to many of the countrys allowhites loyal to the president. The government and its allies can no longer defend the entire country. Their forces have been withdrawing to lines that they are able to defend. Even president Bashir Al Assad acknowledge aid lack of manpower, which means that they have to pick their battles in areas of strategic importance. Syria has been partitioned with front lines separating people according to sect and loyalties. Deal to transfer the communities the population swap was on the negotiating table shows there is with different borders and where forced migration may be become policy.
