Ten people died in Aleppo, 18 on the outskirts of the capital, Damascus, eight in Daraa, five in Idlib, four in Homs, three in Hama, two in Deir ez-Zour, the Syrian Network for Human Rights, a London-based watchdog, said in a statement.
Meanwhile SANA, the Syrian government's official news agency, claimed security forces "neutralized" a large number of armed groups during operations.
More than 100,000 people have been killed during the ongoing three-year conflict in Syria, which has also internally displaced more than 6.5 million people, according to the UN.
More than two million Syrians are now registered as refugees in neighboring Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan and Iraq.
