Latest events in besieged #Homs today - 11/5/2012

#Syria - Latest events in besieged #Homs today - 11/5/2012

Today, Homs's districts have been subjected to some very heavy mortar bomb shelling since the early morning. Most of the districts were targeted whilst they all suffer from catastrophic humanitarian conditions. Snipers are stationed on most of the high rooftops, halting the free movement of civilians. Tens of shells fell on besieged residential areas. There is an extremely massive scarcity in provisions and medics.

-Al Qusour: The district was subjected to some very heavy bombardment since the early morning. Regime's forces used mortar bombs, rockets, and tank shells. There are true fears that the scenario atrocious Assad forces did in Bab Amr will be repeated again in Al Qusour district. Despite the horrendous crackdown, the revolutionary civilians and families held a huge beautiful protest after Friday prayers. Shelling has been renewed afterwards, targeting the houses; smoke was spotted billowing over the street linking Al Senaa'a to Al Hal Souk. Reports say a new sniper has been stationed over Al Beskletani beside Al Heraki school; he can observe the whole street this school is located in. Regime's forces also occupied several buildings located in front of Al Hadeeka (the garden) street. They're burning down the walls of the gardens to get to the houses of civilians. They're then vandalizing and robbing these houses.
The regime's army invaded the district and entered it though Tala'e Al Noor street. They raided and vandalized houses.
Because of the continuous bombardment targeting Al Qusour, this is martyr Abu Yehya Al Ja'afari. He was pulled today although he was martyred about a month ago.

-Al Khaldeye: Huge explosions were heard in the district, followed by some very heavy gunfire fired by the forces stationed in Al Bayyada district.

-Al Waer district: Engineer Abdul Qader Al Waeed's corpse was handed in to his family today. He was kidnapped a long time ago by people from a Shia'a village, where regime's forces afflicted major pain and sufferance on him.

-Al Waer district: A huge protest went out from Fatmeh and Al Izz mosques, insisting that they shall continue with this revolution until criminal Bashar Al Assad is toppled then prosecuted. More protests were held in Jouret Al Shayyah and new Homs, all demanding freedom.

-Jobar and Sultaneyyeh districts: Just like every other day, these 2 districts are being subjected to a continuous tank shelling. Explosions were heard from the side of Insha'at and Bab Amr districts; they were shaking the area.

-Al Mal'ab district: A huge protest was held by the revolutionaries after praying funeral prayers over the martyrs who fell in Damascus's explosions yesterday. Now, regime's security forces cut off most of the streets leading to Omar Bin Khattab mosque. Cars are also being banned from driving or passing in front of the mosque.

-Al Qusair: The UN observers currently are in Al Qusair. They've met with several civilians and with the Free Syrian Army, who gave them the names of martyrs, detainees, and a documentation of the violations committed by Assad's militias since the beginning of Annan's plan. We actvists have jeopardized our own lives trying to show the world the truth. We've seen death by our own eyes with the Free Syrian Army soldiers as we were touring the UN observers, showing them the destruction and the misery in the area. They merely cared enough. We never expected that we would actually make it out alive. This video shows the UN observers passing by the security barriers without doing a thing.

-Al Houleh: The regime's forces savagely shelled a protest that was held in Al Houleh area. They used several types of heavy weaponry, machine guns, and anti-aircrafts. They targeted the protesters and the houses surrounding the gathering of these demonstrators.
