Around 15 buildings were severely damaged and some 20 cars were destroyed in the blast or crushed by falling debris. "The car bomb detonated on a main street in the mainly loyalist suburb of Jaramana, where there is a proliferation of armed pro-regime popular defense committees," AFP quoted the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights as saying.Jaramana suffered similar attacks a few weeks ago. On August 28, at least 27 people were killed by a car bombing while attending a funeral for two supporters of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. On September 3, another car bombing killed at least 5 people, and injured more than 30 others.The suburb’s mostly Druze and Christian residents are considered to be pro-Assad.The attack, along with the continued fighting, is taking place during the final day of the Eid al-Adha holiday. It was initially hoped that the festival would mark a temporary ceasefire between government troops and rebel fighters.
