Syrian Network for Human Rights: The Massacres of Al-Hubait and Hameh

Al-Hubait Massacre| 30 June 2012 | 10 Children Killed in 10 Minutes

At 06:00 pm, the Syrian regime’s army helicopters fiercely attacked the town of Al-Hubait, located 77 kilometers from the center of the city of Idleb and near the city of Khan Shaikoun.  Local activists and the families of victims were interviewed, both noting that the helicopters used heavy bombs.  The regime’s army shelled the densely  populated city deliberately killing 13 victims and injuring 35 people.  In all, 10 children were killed within the first few minutes of the attack.  There is evidence that the regime deliberately and systematically targets civilians with these seemingly random shelling attacks.
