Homs today and the neighboring besieged city of Hama were the most attacked cities.
In Homs, the revolutionist neighborhoods weren’t able to sleep due to shelling which was intensified at morning and also during the night demonstrations when thousands gathered in many areas.
Hama, which is still under a tight siege and communications cutoff even satellite communications, we could only rely on testimonies of witnesses who managed to escape somehow, they talked of scary atrocities and massacres that happened during the storming and the shelling and random killing which made the life and medical conditions in t he city at a very risky level.
This is what happened also in Dier Ezzor, where hospitals were threatened by security forces to prevent them from accepting injuries causing medical staff in many hospitals to stop working and some healthcare centers were closed.
Damascus also joined the violent actions in 3 incidents that happened in the oldest neighborhoods, also a strange attack at a silent gathering as a protest by young people in one of the most prestigious neighborhoods.
As what happened after each Taraweeh prayer, cities sacrificed some angry citizens, people was killed in Boukamal, A’azaz, Idlib, Daraa and Dumair, another day with 6 martyrs.
Eyewitness from Hama: Revenge full of hatred (4-8-2011)
Snipers are deployed on the rooftops of all high buildings to target any moving object, they even targeted women and children, especially in Allimeen area where they are heavily deployed.
