FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
But by Friday morning activists, residents and Free Syrian Army fighters were
claiming death tolls of between 60 to 200 people, most of them young men.
Another video purporting to be of the one of the burials showed a shallow
trench dug at least 20 meters long to a width of three bodies and lined with
breezeblocks. The corpses filled the trench, lying side-by-side and wrapped
in blankets taken from nearby homes.
“Families had sought refuge here from nearby villages that had been
attacked in the past days. Today we buried 60 from our village, I don’t know
how many died from the others,” said Abu Fares.
There are conflicting reports of what happened in Tremseh, a small farming
village about 35km (20 miles) north-west of the city of Hama. It has a
population of about 10,000 people, predominantly Sunni Muslims. Villages
mostly inhabited by Alawites, the ruling minority Shia heterodox sect,
surround the town.
Alongside those killed by shelling, reports have emerged of men that had died
of wounds caused by gunshots fired at close range. There were unconfirmed
rumours that others had been hacked to death ‘by knives’. The Syrian
government and opposition activists accused each other of summary
executions following the initial shelling attack.
Whilst Syrian state television said ‘armed terrorists’ carried out the
killings, referring to the rebel FSA, activists blamed the killings on paid
government paramilitaries from the surrounding villages.
“The army surrounded the village with tanks and Armoured Personnel
Carriers (APC’s) from four sides and brought in busloads of soldiers,”
said Ibrahim al-Hamwi, a member of the Hama Revolutionary Council, speaking
from inside Tremseh.
“I saw the Shabiha enter the city, they were entering houses and killed
some men. They shot others in the street.”
“People tried to flee the shelling by dirt tracks in the surrounding
agricultural fields, these were the only areas not blocked by the government,”
said Mousab al-Azzawi, director of the London based Syrian Network for Human
Rights.
“To the west, groups of Shabiha from the nearby village of Khafr Hod were
waiting for them there. They had been expecting them to try and escape,”
he added. “They dumped them in the dried banks of the Orontes River
that runs through the farmland.”
Al-Hamwi said he hadn’t visited the farmland site, but had seen the dead that
his colleagues had collected from there; “I saw the bodies from that
area. They had died from gunshot wounds. I am still helping to collect the
dead, there are too many on the streets. We are bringing them to the mosque.”
Some activists have claimed that women and children were among the victims of
the killings, but no video had emerged documenting their deaths. Lists
carrying the names of the dead were all of men.
A video showed a line of seventeen bloodied corpses that all young men, most
wearing jeans and t-shirts. Most of the people killed were Free Syrian Army
fighters that clashed with government troops inside Treimsa before
attempting to flee, various activist news networks reported.
