The airstrikes began with a vengeance overnight Sunday, sending residents scurrying for cover. Opposition activists and journalists began posting photographs of the victims, many of them children. One showed the bodies of four children laid out in white shrouds, splashed with red blood and flanked by the bodies of three adults - apparently a family that had died together. Another photograph, circulated by activists Monday, appeared to show the bodies of five members of a family, the children wrapped in their dressing gowns, one of them cuddling a dead woman who may have been their mother.
