An airstrike by Syrian regular forces killed over 60 people in the town of Halfaya, not far from the central city of Hama, says the British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. “In Halfaya, regime forces bombarded a bakery and committed a massacre that killed dozens of people, including women and children, and wounded many others,” said Lebanon’s Naharnet, quoting the Local Coordination Committees, a grassroots network of activists. Activists say the strike hit a line of people queuing outside a bakery. The account is supported by an amateur video released on YouTube which shows scores of dead or wounded people in the rubble. The footage also depicts men carrying victims out of a bombed one-story block, and a crater in the road beside it.
