國際紅十字會：敘利亞內戰範圍擴大

The International Red Cross says there is a state of civil war across more parts of Syria, widening its earlier designation.

The group had previously said such conflict existed between government forces and opposition groups in the flash-point areas of Homs, Hama and Idlib.

But ICRC spokesman Hicham Hassan said Sunday hostilities have spread to other parts of Syria. Activists and residents say Damascus was the scene of the heaviest fighting to hit the capital since the 16-month uprising against Mr. Assad's rule began.

The Red Cross finding comes as Syria denied its forces used heavy weapons and aircraft against the village of Tremseh last week, despite findings of the U.N. monitors who visited the area Saturday and Sunday.

A Syrian foreign ministry spokesman says the military operation in the village targeted armed fighters.國際紅十字會說，目前敘利亞更多地區處於內戰狀態，超出了早先確定的範圍。

國際紅十字會曾說，敘利亞政府軍與反對派組織在霍姆斯、哈馬和伊德利卜等地區發生衝突。

但國際國際紅十字會發言人哈桑星期天說，武裝衝突已經蔓延到敘利亞其他地區。活動人士和當地居民說，大馬士革發生了自反抗阿薩德統治的起義16個月前爆發以來最激烈的戰鬥。

與此同時，敘利亞否認政府軍上星期四對特雷姆薩村使用了重型武器和飛機。但是，曾於星期六和星期天到過特雷姆薩村的聯合國監督人員發現了敘利亞政府軍使用重武器的證據。

敘利亞外交部發言人說，在特雷姆薩村的軍事行動是針對那裏的武裝分子。
