¤ Hama City:
This morning, FSA soldiers in Hama city brought down a fighter jet near Mashaa' al-Arb'een. The pilots parachuted to the ground as smoke filled the sky. Regime forces raided al-Hsaineyat and al-Tawheed areas and began searching the houses of civilians.
In Janoob al-Mal'aab neighborhood, five cars of security forces and shabiha were seen roaming around. A mortar shell struck a house in al-Sawa'eq neighborhood as well. Two people in al-Amereyeh neighborhood sustained wounds after being shot at by regime forces at the medical compound.
Most shops in al-Souq area were closed and residents returned home after hearing sounds of intense gunfire from the citadel and al-Dabagha. Traffic was light and all roads leading to al-Hader were closed off.
In the afternoon, two cars belonging to regime forces passed through Janoob al-Thakaneh neighborhood near al-Sahn Mosque. They beat a number of men for no reason, but did not arrest anyone.
In the evening:
Intense explosions were heard in most neighborhoods of Hama amid gunfire from checkpoints in the city.
Tareeq Halab Neighborhood:
At around 10 a.m., regime army forces set up a checkpoint in the middle of Tareeq Halab neighborhood, at the fire station. Less than an hour later, FSA soldiers moved toward the checkpoint, hoping to liberate it before it became permanent. Forces at the checkpoint arbitrarily opened fire as soon as the FSA attacked, killing three people, including a child and an elderly man, and leaving three women and four others wounded, one critically so. When the FSA got close to liberating the checkpoint, other checkpoints in Tareeq Halab fired ten mortar shells and many BMP shells. The FSA was able to damage a BMP and killed many forces at the checkpoint. As the clashes continued, a three-story building in the middle of the neighborhood was set on fire and destroyed. A tank at al-Badr Hospital began shooting at al-Tawheed Lane, which lies behind the hospital. One of the shells struck the dental medicine center. Helicopters have been continuously flying overhead. As the clashes continued, an additional four people were wounded, one of them critically so. A nail bomb was dropped on Tareeq Halab by regime forces. Another man was later shot and killed by regime forces.
Shabiha and regime forces gathered in Tareeq Halab after reinforcing the civil defense and fire station checkpoints. They scaled the rooftops of buildings in the area and continued to arbitrarily fire their guns. It is confirmed that there are shabiha on the southern side of the fire station, overlooking Tareeq Halab from the west and north.
al-Sawa'eq Neighborhood:
An MiG warplane was downed in the northern part of al-Sawa'eq neighborhood this afternoon. Five residents of the neighborhood died after being wounded by shrapnel from the aircraft. Regime forces stormed the neighborhood with many tanks and armored vehicles, and set up checkpoints on al-Sawa'eq-al-Hashmeyeh Road in the northern part of the neighborhood. One of the pilots of the aircraft went missing, while the other escaped to the military base in Zain al-Abdeen Mountain.
