In al-Qusour, security forces deployed around most mosques before and during Friday prayer, and snipers were positioned on the rooftops of buildings. A pick-up truck and an armored vehicle were seen in front of Abdulrahman ibn Awf Mosque, and the same vehicles were seen outside Beshr al-Hafi Mosque. A Jeep was positioned outside Talhat al-Khair Mosque. Because of the siege of the city and the raids that have been taking place in the neighborhood recently, no demonstrations were held.
After people exitited Mohammad al-Hamed Mosque in al-Andalus neighborhood, security forces from the societal affairs checkpoint entered the mosque and arrested one man. Sounds of gunfire were heard in the neighborhood at the same time.
Anti-regime demonstrations were held in each of the following neighborhoods: al-Hamedeya, Bab Qibli (al-Bayad, al-Jarajmeh and al-Shaikh Anbar), al-Faraya, Tareeq Halab al-Jadeed, Tareeq Halab al-Qadeem, al-Tawheed.
Clashes between regime forces and the FSA broke out in multiple parts of the city.
In Bab Qibli neighborhood, regime forces at the Baath Party HQ building and the Hama Citadel opened fire toward Nazlet al-Jezdan. Clashes broke out in the neighborhood, and shabiha deployed on the road between Janoob al-Thakaneh and Bab Qibli.
In al-Jarajmeh, regime forces deployed in the garden at the end of al-Madineh Slope. One person at the entrance to al-Serjawi Mosque was wounded as regime forces shot at anything that moved.
As gunfire from various regime checkpoints continued, shabiha from the Hama Citadel disrupted traffic and set up a temporary checkpoint at the beginning of al-Madineh Neighborhood.
Clashes became especially intense in Tareeq Halab, and three explosions were heard in different parts of the city. Gunfire was heard in al-Dabagha neighborhood as regime forces hiding inside the Baath Party HQ arbitrarily opened fire. Snipers were positioned atop the building as well, and explosions were heard as smoke rose from the direction of Nazlet al-Jezdan.
