A citizen journalist, commenting on this video, claims that the Syrian Air Force targeted the town's Great Mosque on Thursday. The town of Halfaya, 25 km northwest of Hama, has been under intense bombarded by government forces for nearly a week. Activists claim a massacre is underway. Amer Sabri, a citizen journalist from Hama province, told Nuha Shabaan that regime forces closed all roads to the town, so that citizens had to flee on primitive boats across the Orontes. Syria watchers may recall the town as the site of the December 23, 2012, the "Bakery Massacre" which claimed nearly seventy victims and injured dozens. Most of the victims were women and children because the shelling hit people gathered in line to buy bread.Video courtesy of LCFH.
