Opposition activists said government forces renewed shelling of the central city of Homs on Tuesday, killing about 19 people.
A video from a social media website showed a building on fire in Baba Amro, a suburb of Homs, as voices were heard shouting "God is great."
Opposition activists said the fresh assault on Homs came after 95 people were killed on Monday.
More than 200 were reported killed by sustained shelling last week.
The Syrian government maintains the military is fighting "terrorists" in Homs bent on dividing and sabotaging the country.
