Syria Update: Latest Events
December 7, 2013
Al-Hasakah province. Pursuing their primary goal of public intimidation and spreading the atmosphere of fear, groups of terrorists – who have brought so much death to so many innocents in Syria – have continued their despicable acts, killing civilians.
There seems to be no end in sight to the terrorist attacks in the streets of Syrian cities. Densely populated city blocks have continued to be targeted by terrorist rocket and mortar fire.
Last Sunday, December 7, in one of the liveliest streets of Al Qamishli township in Al-Hasakah province, a place where Arabs, Kurds, Syrians, Assyrians, and Armenians have lived together side by side for ages, a terrorist suicide-bomber has detonated a car rigged with high-powered explosives. Seven people, including one woman and one child, were killed in the explosion. Thirty-two people were wounded, some of them heavily. Five injured people are now in critical conditions in hospital.
The terrorists, who claim to have been fighting for Islam and insist that in the name of God they are warring against the present power structures in Syria, in reality are fighting and firing mortars – and killing ordinary innocent civilians – in areas where there are no military or state objects at all.
Idlib. Al-Nusra Front terrorists have once again carried out an aggressive mortar attack on Idlib town. A mortar hit a small truck that was parked in a lively street full of people, including children. Two children – a boy and a girl, both fourteen years of age – have been killed. Seven people were wounded, among them children, too. Substantial residential damages and property loss have been sustained.
Hama. Counterterrorism operations have continued in Hama province. Syrian law enforcement agencies have ambushed a large shipment of weapons and ammunition, and component explosive devices, intended for the Al-Nusra Front terrorists. One of the terrorists accompanying the load had put up fight and was killed on the spot. Another one has been apprehended. Investigation is underway.
Damascus province. Syrian army has continued its counterterrorism operations in An Nabk town. For some time, the terrorists there have held on to a number of small city blocks putting up desperate resistance. However, Syrian army troops have kept carrying out their mission moving steadily forward and recapturing the area, house by house and street by street. The city’s previously freed areas are being thoroughly investigated.
As the Syrian army advances, peaceful life in the city resumes. The remaining city dwellers are wholeheartedly praising their liberators.
