Syria’s regime added another mass killing to its long list Tuesday. At least 31 civilians, including 14 children, are dead after a bombardment strike in a rebel-controlled district of Aleppo, rebels say. Many have fled the embattled city, where the government troops and opposition groups are still fighting for control.
