|| Situation in the City and Countryside ||
¤ Hama City:
All types of mobile phone and internet connections are cut off from the city. Land lines are working only within Hama city.
Demonstrations were held from most mosques in Hama city on the Friday of the Protection of the Majority, despite the siege by security forces and the deployment of forces around mosques during Friday prayer.
In al-Qusour neighborhood, regime forces and shabiha deployed in cars and armored vehicles near al-Rahmeh, Talhat al-Khair and Abudlrahman ibn Awf Mosques.
A large protest was held in Tareeq Halab, and for the first time since the Ramadan massacre of 2011, protestors from Tareeq Halab al_Qadeem and al-Jadeed were able to unite. The Naseh Alwani checkpoint, which was liberated yesterday, used to separate the two areas.
Regime forces at the Hama Citadel launched mortar shells onto Tareeq Halab.
Intense gunfire from the water company building and the Fasika tower in al-Arb'ene neighborhood toward residential buildings was reported.

al-Hamedeya Neighborhood Yesterday:
We apologize for the delay in reporting, but yesterday, after the FSA attacked and liberated the Naseh Alwani School checkpoint, regime forces from the medical compound raided al-Hamedeya neighborhood and arbitrarily arrested residents. They shot at a car with a man and thee children inside, injuring the man and one of the children. They also shot at electrical and phone lines in the neighborhood. As a result, land lines were disconnected and power was cut off from a number of houses.
