Assad is still killing people, huh? The Syrian troops are patrolling in the countryside as well. The deaths are probably everywhere.

Syrian security forces opened fire on protests around the country Friday in the latest sign the conflict could be moving toward a long and bloody stalemate as President Bashar Assad shrugged off tighter sanctions and U.S. calls to step aside. Human rights activists said at least 27 people were killed, including a 10-year-old boy.

..."The first words my year-old son will learn to say are: 'We don't want Bashar'," said Ahmed, who fled from Tel Kelakh, where security forces, the army and irregular Assad loyalists known as shabbiha had cracked down on earlier this week.

The prisons are probably full and there needs to be a report on any executions taking place.  The United Nations Security Council should demand a daily report on any and all deaths from hospitals as well as prisons and burial facilities.  The Israelis probably have an idea as to what is happening at the border and into the country.  The Israelis should NOT extend their authority past their borders in order to conduct assessments without the explicit authority of the United Nations.
