ISTANBUL
The army of Bashar al-Asad's administration has killed 50 people by bombing Hama since last night.
Local sources told AA on the phone that the military attacks targeted neighborhoods in Hama, killing 50 people including eight children and five women.
The activists claimed that the units, which staged the Houleh massacre, were transferred to Hama.
They said that the snipers were shooting anything moving.
Hundreds of people were killed and 300 others were wounded in an operation of al-Assad forces in Houleh town on Friday.
A ceasefire plan, which was presented by UN-Arab League Special Envoy to Syria Kofi Annan to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad on March 10 and accepted by him on March 27, came into effect on April 12. Assad's government has been accused of failing to abide by key terms of the truce plan, including pulling all forces from urban areas and allowing peaceful demonstrations.
The UN Security Council blamed the Syrian government for attacking residential areas of the town of Houla with artillery and tank shelling and also condemned the close-range killings of civilians there, but avoided saying who was responsible for the massacre of more than 108 people including 49 children.
United Nations Secretary-General Ban-Ki moon sent a letter to UNSC and noted that the violence in Syria escalated in the past two days. Ban said that UNSMIS was informed that 116 people had been killed and over 300 were wounded during the attacks in El-Houleh.
