|| Situation in the City and Countryside ||
¤ Hama City:
Many warplanes were seen flying overhead.
As is the case every Friday, regime forces deployed throughout the city starting in the early morning, to prevent people form holding weekly protests. Tareeq Halab was under tight siege, and security vehicles and armored vehicles were seen everywhere. Snipers were positioned on rooftops and the following mosques were closed: Fatima al-Zahraa - al-Buraaq - Zaid ibn Thabet
Shabiha attacked a protest in al-Hamedeya neighborhood
In the evening:
Tens of missiles were fired from the Hama Military Airport toward the suburbs
¤ Hama Countryside:
Helfaya:
Helfaya was heavily bombarded by warplanes and with rockets and Gvozdika artillery starting in the early morning, with 16 people, including two children, dying so far. Later in the day, shelling with all kinds of weaponry was renewed at a rate of three shells per minute. Women and children have fled the city, and the number of wounded people is very high. Regime forces continue to blockade the city for the 13th consecutive day, leaving the people without fuel, bread or medicine. Half of Helfaya's residents are besieged amid the shelling, and there is a fear that the number of casualties will rise due to the intensity of the bombardment.

Salamieh:
Because of the ongoing battles at the Eastern Barri Battalion in Hama's eastern suburbs, Salamieh is witnessing a period of unrest. Sounds of gunfire and ambulances can be heard throughout the dya.
A number of families fled Sabboura village after the FSA attacked shabiha with mortar shells and homemade rockets.
