|| Situation in the City and Countryside ||
¤ Hama City:
At dawn today, warplanes and helicopters began flying to and from the Hama Military Airport, back and forth from the suburbs of Hama and Idlib. Activists have also spotted convoys leaving the Hama Military Airport, the national security branch, and the headquarters of the 4th Armored Division. Eight armored personnel carriers were seen with tanks, buses and armored vehicles heading toward Hama's northern suburbs. It's the second consecutive day in which such a large convoy was spotted.
Security forces were deployed in and raided a number of areas, including al-Shaikh Anbar and al-Jalaa. Recently, al-Jalaa has been witnessing daily raids by regime forces who search and loot hours. Raids in Tareeq Halab also continue, as they have for the last two months. In Gharb al-Mashtal, regime forces came in seven vehicle and surrounded a shop, arresting and beating its owner. Security forces were also deployed in al-Dabagha and on al-Marabet Street.
In the late afternoon, intermittent gunfire was heard from the Passports and Immigration Roundabout.
In the evening, security forces deployed near al-Tha'er Library in al-Bayad and in Daheyat Abe al-Fidaa, the explosion of a booby-trapped car that killed four people.
Economic Report for Hama City:
The regime has set up a committee of people to monitor workers who trade foreign currencies, arresting those who do so on charges of destroying the Syrian currency and helping deplete its value. It's important to note that United Nations employees, Syrians and otherwise, continue to be paid in US dollars. At close of market today, the exchange rate for Syrian Pounds and US Dollars was 200-200 for selling, and 206-207 for purchase. A gram of 21 carat gold costs 7300 SYP.
