Our sons’ wounds, the detention of our brothers, the harm our young men see, and the torture our freedom heroes receive is not just for publicity, it is a wound in the conscience of our nation, and an incentive for us to continue, defend, support, and help. So please, honor the blood of the martyrs, and know that victory is ours. So let us keep our promise to staying the course, patience, victory, and forgiveness. Like every night, the sounds of gunfire and explosions were heard in most neighborhoods. Their source was the checkpoints that are spread in all areas. The Shabiha thugs attacked at dawn Al-Shammas, a poor resilient neighborhood, to terrorize the residents with heavy presence of the Assad forces.

Snipers spread on top of the Homs Citadel, which overlooks Bab Al-Sbaa neighborhood, targeted and killed martyr Mahmoud Atiyah this morning before the Friday prayer. Homs with all its neighborhoods and surrounding towns and villages revolted, even those under siege. Demonstrations went out in each of: Bab Al-Draib, Al-Warsha, Bab Houd, Saliba Al-Asyati, Jib Al-Jandali, Al-Hamidiyeh, Al-Shammas, Al-Qusoor, Deir Balba, Al-Bayada, Al-Khaldiyeh, Masaken Al-Moalimeen, Joret Al-Shayah, Al-Karabees, Al-Inshaat, Baba Amro, Joret Al-Arayes, Jobar, Al-Sultaniyeh, Kafar Aya, Karm Al-Zeitoun, Al-Bazeheen, Al-Midan, Karm Al-Shami, Ashira, Al-Ghouta, Al-Hamra, Bab Al-Sbaa, Ter Maaleh, Al-Ghanto, Al-Qusayr, Talbiseh, Al-Rastan, Ezz El-Deen, Al-Sikhneh, Al-Bayoda Al-Sharqiyeh, Tadmur, Al-Qayatain, and Al-Holeh. The Assad forces and thugs fired at demonstrators in most neighborhoods, especially in Al-Ghouta, Bab Al-Draib, Baba Amro, Al-Inshaat, Al-Khaldiyeh (where nail bombs were used against demonstrators), Al-Bayada, Bab Al-Sbaa, Deir Balba, Al-Nazeheen, Karm Al-Zeitoun, Al-Qusayr, Talbiseh, and Al-Rastan. Tens were injured, including women and children, some with serious injuries.

Things were also tough in Al-Khaldiyeh, where a lot of nail bombs were launched from armored vehicles. In Deir Balba, heavy artillery was used to demolish the neighborhood. Things were also tough in Karm Al-Zeitoun, Al-Nazeheen, Jib Al-Jandali, Baba Amro (where there were many injured who were impossible to attend to because of the heavy gunfire and siege of the neighborhood), Bab Al-Sbaa, Al-Waar (where there were violent clashes in the military academy), Bab Al-Draib (where Kaab Al-Ahbar mosque was targeted), Al-Inshaat, and Joret Al-Shayah. The same was true for the towns of Talbiseh, Al-Qusayr, and Al-Rastan. Demonstrations went out even though the Assad forces surrounded many mosques, threatened to arrest the Imams, and fired during and after prayer, as happened in Al-Qusayr and many mosques in Homs like Bilal Al-Habashi mosque on the Damascus road, Omar Bin Al-Khatab mosque, and many others. News arrived about intense shelling of Al-Bayada with heavy artillery and tanks amid confirmed news of defection of many soldiers, who burned the military vehicles they had before they fled seeking shelter with the residents. Many mourners of martyr Taher Jamrak in Al-Qusayr were threatened and targeted by Lt. Col. Ammar Al-Jarf the head of the military security branch in the city. He threatened that anyone who goes out in the martyr’s funeral would be buried next to him. He also forced the martyr’s family to sign a declaration that gangs were the ones that killed him. At least two people were injured during the funeral. Al-Qusayr | Martyr Taher Jamrak’s funeral http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L61gH1n-vps There was also news about the passing of martyr Abdel Muneem Abbas Al-Riadi, who’s more than 80 years old, as a result of wounds sustained after being shot by Shabiha thugs on Wednesday morning, the day of the general strike. Gunfire and explosions did not stop even after supper time, and remained intermittent in Al-Waar, Al-Inshaat, Baba Amro, Al-Bayada, Al-Khaldiyeh, Deir Balba, Bab Al-Sbaa, Bab Al-Draib, Al-Khard, and Al-Midan. Evening demonstrations also went out in the towns of Al-Holeh, Tadmur, Al-Qusayr, Tal Kalakh, and the neighborhoods of Al-Inshaat, Joret Al-Shayah, Al-Karabees, Jin Al-Jandali, Karm Al-Shami, Al-Khaldiyeh, Al-Qusoor, Bab Houd, Al-Hamra, Bab Al-Draib, Karm Al-Zeitoun, Al-Nazeheen, Al-Bayada, Deir Balba, Al-Shammas, and Al-Ghouta. Assad thugs and militias opened fire on demonstrators to disperse them in Jib Al-Jandali, Bab Houd, and Al-Inshaat (where reportedly nail bombs and bullets were fired from a Shabiha car towards worshipers leaving Al-Fardous mosque, and injuries were reported). An armored vehicle entered Bab Al-Sbaa and fired hysterically. In addition, the air force intelligence checkpoint in Tal Kalakh opened fire at homes, cars, and demonstrators returning, but no injuries were reported. Firing continued from the checkpoints, armored vehicles, and tanks stationed at the checkpoints towards the neighborhoods. Heavy artillery demolished Baba Amro and Bab Al-Sbaa, where columns of fire and smoke were seen rising from some places in the neighborhood, and all residents could do was to chant for God. Gunfire resumed inside the military academy in Al-Waar, without getting any news from there, except ambulances carrying injured people. Some military trucks and tanks were also seen wandering some neighborhoods or on main roads like Nizar Qabbani street towards Al-Ghouta and Tripoli road towards Al-Inshaat and Baba Amro. A huge explosion was heard in Al-Inshaat after a period of gunfire, and residents chanting God’s name in response. Residents of Al-Waar also heard heavy gunfire from the police station and the neighborhood’s checkpoints. In Talbiseh, checkpoints and tanks that support them fired rockets and machine guns towards Al-Masjer Al-Janoubi neighborhood. No injuries were reported. The sounds of explosions and smoke clouds continued to rise up in Bab Al-Sbaa and Al-Khudr neighborhoods. There was confirmed news of the defection of a number of officers and tens of soldiers, and targeting the Citadel and Al-Farabi checkpoints, and the area around the Citadel, then fleeing to seek shelter with the residents. As a result, the neighborhood was targeted and power was cut from it. Same thing in Baba Amro, where a lot of explosions were heard amid a power outage in the entire neighborhood and intense gunfire. Same was the situation in Al-Bayada where gunfire did not stop, and the neighborhood did not stop giving its sons between martyr and injured.
