Summary of Events
Sources with the UN observers’ mission disclosed that the regime prohibited them from heading to the villages of Qubeir and Marzaf in Hama to investigate yesterday’s massacre. The sources added that they were fired upon on their way to the villages. Ban Ki Moon has announced that heavy weaponry, armour-piercing bullets, and UAVs were used against the UN observers in Syria almost daily to force them to retreat from areas where regime forces are in action.
The general strike and civil disobedience continued in the capital and spread to reach the suburb of Wadi Barada.
Activists said that regime helicopters dumped unknown materials over Jabal Shahshabo in the province of Hama. The material is believed to be phosphoric cluster bombs aimed at limiting the movement of revolutionaries. Other sources disclosed that regime helicopters dumped white chemicals over the areas of Sahel, Bosr Harir, Sour, Hamer, and Lajat in the province of Daraa. The white chemicals are believed to be infectious and contagious and aimed at targeting refugees fleeing to Jordan.
Regime forces killed at least 44 people today; most fell as a result of the regime’s shelling on the city of Haffa in the province of Latakia and the city of Talbiseh in the province of Homs.
Regime forces opened heavy fire in the cities of Boukamal and Mayadin in the province of Deir Azzour, shelled the towns of Talbiseh, Rastan, Homs and Tal Kalakh, raided the town of Ghabagheb in the province of Daraa amid heavy fire and shelled the town of Tafas, opened heavy fire in the neighbourhoods of Barzeh and Rukn Addin in the Capital, and shelled the suburbs of Tfail, Assal Wared, Hama, and Rankous.
