Palestinian camp hit by Syrian rocket could have political fallout DAMASCUS, Syria, Dec. 16 (UPI) -- Several Palestinians were killed or wounded Sunday when a Syrian warplane fired a rocket into a crowded refugee camp, videos from the scene indicated. The death toll at the Yarmouk camp in Damascus was unclear; however, images of casualties were quickly posted on the Internet, Britain's The Guardian said. The reported airstrike could have significance beyond the number of lives lost. The Guardian noted the Yarmouk camp had long been a center of political support for President Basar Assad. That support has been frayed in the 21 months since the ongoing rebellion broke out. Assad is a Shia Muslim while the Palestinians and the opposition groups seeking his overthrow are Sunni, The Guardian said. Analysts told the newspaper it appeared about half of the Palestinians in Syria still support Assad while the other half has turned its back on their longtime protector.
