Video uploaded on the internet on Tuesday purportedly shows tanks belonging to
the powerful fourth division in the Syrian army driving in the streets of
Damascus.
Another amateur video said to be shot in Talbisah near Homs appeared to show
the immediate aftermath of a shell hitting buildings in the area. Black
smoke billowed into the sky as the narrator says: ”Allahu akbar, Talbisah,
July 24, 2012, bombs dropped from the helicopters.”
The content of these videos, which have been obtained from a social media
website, cannot be independently verified.
With the conflict raging in Syria’s two biggest cities, as well as many
provincial ones, Western and many Arab nations are pushing for Assad’s
removal. Russia, China, Iran and Iraq are among those opposed to any forced
handover of power.
