ANKARA
A London-based human rights group said 19 people were killed Monday in Syria in what it said "ongoing military operations and Syrian army fire on demonstrators."
Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said tanks were still seen on the streets in Hama where army troops killed seven as 12 other were killed in operations in Damascus, Homs, Idlib, Qamishli, Daraa and Aleppo.
The group said death toll from continued government violence had reached to 55 since last Thursday when the Syrian regime said it would abide by a peace plan by international envoy Kofi Annan which included an immediate cease-fire, which UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon Monday called "very fragile."
The rights group said over 11 thousand people were killed in the 13-month crackdown of the Syrian regime as the UN puts the death toll at more than 9,000.
