The UN observer mission arrived to the area today, however they were subjected to heavy fire in Alturkman neighborhood and Qmeiri neighborhood, however the activists did convince them to continue their mission to see the destruction and also witness the regimes breach of Annan’s initiative. After the UN observers left, the town was hysterically targeted by anti-aircrafts and mortar bombs. The bombardment was carried out by the forces stationed on most of its barriers, specially from the barrier of Al Qumairi and Al Qaser.
