A rocket attack in Aleppo, fighting at a Palestinian refugee camp in Damascus and two car bomb explosions south of the capital have marked the conclusion to one of the bloodiest weeks in the Syrian civil war.

The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported that 12 people were killed in the Aleppo attack with dozens wounded, and at the camp in Damascus a U.N. refugee agency said a further dozen people had died with some 20 wounded as fighting between Syrian rebels and Assad’s loyalists flared up amongst women and children.
Both government and opposition forces have blamed each other for the attacks and it was the second time in a week that state sources had accused rebels of firing rockets.
The spike in violence between the opposing forces began on Tuesday when 87 people were killed in two blasts at Aleppo University, and continued on Thursday when opposition activists accused pro-government militia of torching houses and killing 100 people as they swept through a town in central Syria.
The state-run SANA news agency said the most recent rocket attack in Aleppo was carried out by terrorists, a term the regime uses to refer to rebels.
However, the Local Coordination Committees of Syria, an anti-Assad group and the Aleppo Media Centre, a network of anti-regime activists accused the government of launching an air strike.

Video broadcast on Syrian state TV showed several floors of the targeted building collapsed in a government-controlled area of Aleppo, Syria’s largest urban centre and main commercial hub. The video showed a man carrying a baby out of the damaged building and another man was seen clutching his head as blood ran down his forehead. Residents were also seen looking for people buried in the rubble. At least one injured person on a stretcher was seen being carried away in a Red Crescent ambulance.
Shortly after the rocket hit the building in Aleppo, state television reported that militants linked to an al-Qaida group had detonated cars filled with explosives near a mosque in Daraa, a city to the south of Damascus, as worshippers were leaving following Friday prayers.
The Palestinian camp, Yarmouk, has been the scene of heavy clashes between rebels and regime loyalists since mid-December, when opposition fighters moved into the camp during an attempt to storm the capital. Dozens have been killed in the fighting although the United Nations did not provide an exact figure of casualties in Yarmouk violence, which included air strikes and artillery shelling from the Syrian military
Government troops and rebels have been in a deadlock in Aleppo and other areas in the north since with some opposition advances. Rebels have increasingly targeted state security facilities and government institutions in other parts of the country in efforts to break the stalemate.
