More often than not these days, there's smoke on the Damascus skyline. Violence in the Syrian capital didn't appear to be letting up ahead of a proposed ceasefire to mark the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha.
Tanks could be seen throughout the city in this latest video posted to a social media website that Reuters cannot independently verify. Opposition activists say few expect to see any sort of quiet over the next few days.
