BEIRUT — Syrian security forces raided homes and clashes erupted between soldiers and army defectors Thursday, killing at least 21 people across the country, including an 8-year-old girl and six soldiers, activists said. In some of the attacks, security forces opened fire as they conducted raids in search of dissidents in areas including the suburbs of Damascus, in Deir el-Zour, Hama and Homs. There also were reports of fighting between army defectors and soldiers.
