FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
“We are calling for an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council so
that it can issue a resolution to protect civilians in Syria,” the
Syrian National Council said in a statement. “Hama in recent days, and
following a visit by UN observers, witnessed a series of crimes that left
more than 100 people dead and hundreds wounded because of heavy shelling.”
The regime said “armed terrorist groups” had accidentally blown up a
house they were using for bomb-making, killing 16 people including women and
children. Opposition activists nearby said there had been intense tank
shelling of the house, before a single large rocket hit it, killing scores
of people.
Earlier this week, a series of machine gun attacks by regime forces killed
between 30 and 40 people, shortly after a visit by members of the Annan
peace deal monitoring mission. Two monitors remain in the city.
“It was a missile shot by Battilion 47, which is situated near that
district,” said Mousab al-Hamadee, a member of Hama’s Local
Coordination Committee for the opposition. “They thought that some
defectors were hiding in that part of the city.”
Mr Hamadee said that many of the victims of the blast were families who had
fled the violence in neighbouring Homs and had been living in the district
as refugees. Activists put the body count as high as 68, including 13
children and 16 women.
Footage from immediately after the blast showed panicked crowds scrambling
over the collapsed remains of buildings, and carrying the semi-naked
bloodstained body of a young girl. Ash-covered men dug through the piles
masonry in search of people trapped below.
“Shops were closed across the whole city,” said anactivist calling
himself Samer al-Husain. “We left the pharmacies open do that they
could provide help for the wounded.
“We had big demonstrations in several neighbourhoods. There was a smaller
one in the city centre. Security forces opened fire on the demonstrators,
wounding my friend who was shot in the leg.”
Opposition leaders in Hama declared the two monitors stationed in the city “useless”.
“We called the observers yesterday night,” Mr Husain said. “They
came to the edge of the neighbourhood but refused to go inside. Perhaps they
were scared, but I don’t know why because they had Syrian security with them.”
In another allegation of regime non-compliance with the ceasefire government
forces have built a concrete wall around much of the once rebel-held Homs
district of Baba Amr, stationing tanks and troops near every exit, activists
report.
“The only way in and out of the district are through exits heavily
patrolled by security forces,” said one, “Abu Bakr”. “Only
the elderly and children live inside Baba Amr now. The young men are wanted
by the government, and mothers have sent their daughters away. They are
afraid soldiers will rape them.”
