Criminality emerged again in the Syrian village of Hatla, where hungry monsters pounced on the children, women and elderly.
Criminality emerged again in the Syrian village of Hatla, where hungry monsters pounced on the children, women and elderly.
In the name of extremism sixty people were killed, and under the pretext of the sect they were slaughtered. The indescribable scene was heinous and motivated by revenge.
Al-Manar Website correspondent in Syria reported that militants of Al-Nusra Front and others of the so-called ‘Free Syrian Army’ stormed the village of Hatla on Tuesday morning with more than 1000 militiamen, opening heavy gunfire from different types of light and medium weapons without sparing any child, woman or old man.
The terrorists projected their anti-aircraft fires at civilians directly, and executed the children prior to adults, using all kinds of murder.
Of the awful actions they committed was the slaughter of a child who hasn’t attained the age of six. They also executed a woman, "Wedad al-Badrani", by an anti-aircraft projectile in front of her family who were later executed.
Omar Hammadi and Issa Khalaf al-Hilal, whose ages are beyond 85, were also executed, not to mention all the brutal massacres committed against entire families and burning the homes of unarmed civilians.
The terrorist groups have also kidnapped Sayyed Ibrahim Musa Mullah Eid, a well-known cleric in the town, with his nephew, Taha Hussein Mullah Eid. Few hours later, both victims have been killed in brutal manner.
Even though, the Hatla residents tried to resist the attack after fortifying themselves in one of the village neighborhoods, and clashed with the terrorist takfirist militiamen more than once.
Opposition websites admitted that around 33 terrorists were killed and dozens wounded during clashes, among them was chief of what they called “Ammar al-Hammad" battalion.
The gunmen announced that they carried out the attack under the pretext of the fighters’ arrival of the Syrian Arab Army at the village. However, the al-Nusra Front stated that the attack was a revenge for the “slaughtered al-Qusayr,” as they expressed.
The incident received widespread resentment among Syrian citizens, some of them are known opponents to the Syrian government.
As for the rest of Hatla residents, they were secured in the adjacent village of Jufrah. Some residents arrived at the eastern city of Deir Ezzor.
In response, Syrian army units pounded militants’ strongholds sporadically due to their presence among civilians to use them as human shields.
A UN report issued Wednesday stated that children are being used as sniper targets and human shields in the Syria war, whereas UN leader Ban Ki-moon said the 26-month-old war in Syria is taking an "unacceptable and unbearable" toll on children with thousands among the death toll.
