|| Situation in the City and Countryside ||
¤ Hama City:
Tension is high in the city, especially in al-Hader area and Tareeq Halab and al-Qusour because of the siege imposed on these areas by regime forces. There is an extreme shortage of food and medical supplies, and residential buildings have been occupied. The regime forces are raided and arresting people every few hours. Today, they overturned graves and took corpses from the garden in which they were buried. Residents of Wadi al-Jouz are being forcibly displaced, and their houses being deserted with bulldozers. Sounds of explosions were heard in al-Hader this morning. Security forces deployed in al-Hsaineyat on the street connecting al-Jub and al-Arb'een Roundabouts, where they searched houses near the clinic.
Missiles are continually fired from the Hama Military Airport toward the city's suburbs.
Assad regime forces arrested Faisal al-Naasan, father of activist Qutaiba al-Naasan, and Mohammad al-Naasan, Qutaiba's brother, from Tareeq Halab. We received reported that three days ago, 65-year-old Rouda al-Za'eem was arrested during a raid of Tareeq Halab as well.
