\u00a0On Tuesday, 11-09-2012 at 10:15 in the morning Syrian army warplanes attacked kafarzeta city and dropped twelve barrels which were loaded with explosives, this killed twelve civilians (including two women and a toddler). The following are details of the massacre as narrated to us by the civilians and witnesses:<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
The distribution of explosive barrels according to the shelled area and the destruction which the bombardment caused:<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
The first barrel: the first barrel was dropped on the neighbourhood which is situated in the north of the village and caused no casualties. After a short while, the second barrel was dropped on the home of the martyr Hassan Karmo AlTafah which killed Abdullah (33 years), his wife Rabi\u2019a Hashem Alkhatib and their neighbour Noura AlTafah (Um Hamed). In addition to this, a few women and children were injured.<\/p>\n
The second and third barrel: whilst the civilians were trying to retrieve the bodies of the victims, a third barrel was dropped over a distance of 25 metres from the first site of explosion near the home of AlHaj Khaled AlSaleh. This led to his and his friends (AlHaj Abdullah AlDiab, 70 years) death, in addition to the death of Mohammad Adnan AlSaleh (33 years), Abdullah Yaser AlSaleh (19 years), the grandchild of AlHaj Khaled Saleh (Abu Radwan) and Mohammad Muhyi AlDeen Hassoun (30 years), who was holding the baby Batoul Mohammad AlTalfah (10 months) as he was trying to rescue her away from the second site of explosion. However, they were fated to become victims of the third explosion. Saleh AlHassoun (40 years) also lost his life while he was trying to reach the location of the bombing to rescue his family. A few injured people were salvaged from this explosion; some of them were in critical condition.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The fourth barrel: \u00a0the fall of a fourth barrel caused another explosion on the old homes, situated on the south of the big mosque. This caused more destruction of the buildings but no casualties.<\/p>\n
\u00a0The fifth barrel: following this, a fifth barrel was dropped near the home of Bilal AlA\u2019raj but there were no casualties.<\/p>\n
The sixth barrel: the sixth barrel was then dropped on the home of Ma\u2019rouf AlArfat in the north town which caused more destruction.<\/p>\n
The seventh and the eighth barrel: \u00a0the seventh and eighth barrels were dropped on the south of Kafarzeta Stadium and the other on AlKherbeh road but did not cause any damage.<\/p>\n
Calm prevailed in the city for approximately one hour, during this time, the victim\u2019s bodies were retrieved and a time was set during the second hour to pray for them. Shortly before the set time the military aircraft returned to drop more deadly explosive barrels. The ninth barrel was dropped on the home of Al AlSaed which was empty, therefore only the construction was seriously affected.<\/p>\n
The tenth barrel was dropped on the old town south of the large mosque, this explosion did not cause much harm. \u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0The eleventh barrel was then dropped on the home of Ahmad AlKhalaf which is situated near AlZakat roundabout in the southern town. The owner of this home had fled to turkey two days before the massacre, however, due to the severity of the explosion Al Haj Abdullah Shahood AlJdou\u2019 lost his life as he was making his way to the prayer. \u00a0Ali Al Qaddour also died whilst trying to escape the city by car with the women and children as he was worried about them, this caused the injury of one woman and a child<\/p>\n

We explicitly condemn this horrific massacre which is openly classified as a crime against Human Rights, along with the remaining massacres against the Syrian people \u2013 all of which have been committed by Assad forces. We hold the Syrian regime, the Commander in Chief of the Armed forces full and direct responsibility of the massacre. In addition to this, we also hold Russia, Iran and Hizbullah direct responsibility of the killing as they continue to provide the Syrian regime with weapons and money. We call for the United Nations and Security Council to take immediate action and speed to protect the Syrian people and to live up to their responsibilities. We urge them to accelerate their steps in referring all those involved in this massacre to the International Criminal Court.<\/p>\n \n Syrian Network for Human Rights – London Date of incident: 11-09-2012<\/p>\n On Tuesday, 11-09-2012 at 10:15 in the morning Syrian army warplanes attacked kafarzeta city and dropped twelve barrels which were loaded with explosives, this killed twelve civilians (including two women and a toddler).
