Syrian Forces Kill 126 People, 107 from Homs
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Security forces killed 126 people in Syria on Thursday, 107 of them in Homs in the latest government blitz on the besieged city, said Local Coordination Committees.
Six people were killed in Maarat al-Naaman in Idlib, ten others in Reef Damascus, two in Ain al-Arab Koubani in Aleppo, and one in Latakia.
Activists said that some of the Homs victims were burned beyond recognition.
"Twenty three people have died in the shelling that began at dawn on the Baba Amr neighborhood and one died in Khaldiyeh," said Rami Abdel Rahman of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
"The bodies of several of the victims in Baba Amr were completely charred," said the head of the Britain-based group.
Abdel Rahman said the government assault on the central city, which began on Saturday, has left more than 400 people dead.
Ali Hazuri, a doctor in Baba Amr reached by telephone from Beirut, said the shelling had eased overnight but resumed at daybreak on Thursday.
"The shells are raining down on us and regime forces are using heavy artillery," he said.
Omar Shaker, an activist in Baba Amr also reached by phone, added that residents of the neighborhood were hiding on the ground floor of buildings as there were no underground shelters.
"When you venture outside, you can see craters every 10 meters (yards)," he said.

It's all under control. The people are with you Assad. The Israelis, Americans, Qataris, Saudis, French and Martians are behind it all.

Regardless of our political views and associations and believing who's right or wrong...It is a sad day whenever civilians get killed and families are terrified of the sound of bombing and gunfire. We Lebanese have been and shouldn’t wish it on no one.

This is irresponsible journalism on the part of Naharnet and I am disappointed that a news site of its prestige is not more objective and less hyperbolic.

The blood of the innocent people of homs are on the hands of LCC and SNC, when you start a revolution or a movemant you better know the end game, you don't start something without thinking of the conseqounces

Of course concerned Syrian, I remember how the blood of the innocent Christians people of Lebanese were on the hand of Aoun rather than on the the Syrian army that was murdering them because he started a war without knowing the end game and without thinking of the consequences. And I believe that whoever gave you the thumbs up agrees with both of us.

nade;
individual like mansour defy the definition of a human being.
You would never ask the question to a sadist or deranged person, mansour is one of those. Regardless of political affiliation or gender or religion,
people should not endure atrocities. All I can say, may their faith, whatever that may be, help them through this dire calamity.

Syria hasn't used a bullet on the Israeli's since 1973--all of them have been spent on their own people, and our people unfortunately.

The Syrian army has been designed and prepared for this day for 40 years, not to fight israel of course but to fight the people. the beauty of this revolution is that it destroyed all the masks from damascus to the slums of da7iye. The real mission of the army is to kill as many Syrian sunis as possible to keep the alawis in power. Israel is an artificial "enemy" (for sale to idiots like habalamel and mowaten) and tacit allies, the real enemy is the suni masses. This is a classic example of minorities holding on to power at any cost.

99% of the victims happen to be sunis and 99% of the perpetrators happen to be alawis. Who has the heart to snipe children?: serbs against bosnian muslims, jews against palestenian muslims, alawis against syrian muslims. Genocides are 99% of the time sectarianly motivated. Take a wild guess what type of war it is.

Who has the heart to snipe children? The Alawis, right? Is that what you're saying? I guess you're not sectarian, right? Videos of dead children is not proof of Alawis sniping children you piece of sectarian shit.

Jabalamel is a secular non religious shiite, why would he care about religious muslims?

The rebellion will be crushed soon? The whole Syrian armed forces can't stop women and children from protesting and it's been going for almost a year. The mighty Syrian resistance army resisting by killing its own people and bombarding its own cities while the Golan heights are occupied and the people are being starved. Reminds me of the resistance of Huzb Allah that spends its time assassinating Lebanese leaders and occupying Beirut.

The french revolution lasted for three years. The right question is this: is the regime weaker than it was 11 months ago? yes, are the defections in the army on the rise? yes, is the economy falling apart? yes, is the rebelion wider? yes. Do the math and you would know that versus time the regime will fall as a mathematical certainty.

Dear Mansour. While I sympathize with the Lebanese families that have suffered at the hands of the Syrian regime (including mine), I'd like to remind you that it wasn't the Syrian women and children who inflicted pain on the Lebanese, but the Syrian army. It's quite disrespectful, inhumane and inconsiderate to wish pain on others... And while I will continue to pray to Jesus to protect the innocent in Syria, I will also pray for him to give you wisdom and knowledge so you can be a more loving and caring individual.

peace i do love, i love when i watch the news and see syria in flames.And as for your comments as to not blame syrian citizens well tuff shit.it was the syrian army who were following orders but they had a choice back then to either help or to commit crimes such as Murder,kidnappings,rape and the crimes go on and on.One last thing the same people who were in the syrian army back in the 70 thru to present were all those grubs who are some how calling for freedom may they never see it.thank you

So going by your logic , all the people killed by lebanese should also blame all lebanese. Right? The recent terror plot in thailand, gives all of the thai people the right to hate all lebanese...
Lek skout we khras wlak majnoun. If we are to hate all syrians then lets start by hating ourselves first bcuz not only are we syrian in origin but nobody killed more lebanese than we lebanese.
Grow up. And you should change your name bcuz mansour is a common name among syrians, both first name and family name :)

Dear Mansour
Like many of us, you have probably suffered a major loss in the Lebanese war, be it a house, a hometown, or a the life of a loved one. It's easy to look at what's happening in Syria and say payback time. I was like you at one time, consumed with anger and bitterness and it almost destroyed me. It also reduces you to the level of these evil monsters. We will never forget the Syrian atrocities in Lebanon but we have to forgive and move on. Let God be the judge.

It is the evil regime that is responsible for all the atrocities in Lebanon. Unfortunately, all the troops who served in the Syrian army in Lebanon were trained to be ruthless and oppressive and they're practicing that brand of violence in their own country now. This applies to both sides.
