ONLY IN SYRIA ARE THE CHILDREN OF MARTYRS BECOMING MARTYRS THEMSELVES. Homs (Rastan): Apr 23, 2013 - The father of Ahmed Mousa Al Hussein was killed by the Assad regime. Now, this little infant boy is the next victim. 

Assad is wiping out entire generations.

Thanks @LccSy

THEY WANT ONE THING AND ONE THING ONLY … FOR THE SHELLING TO STOP. Homs (Rastan): Apr 13, 2013 - Is that so much to ask for from these children? That Assad stop shelling their town? Watch and listen … 

Thanks @SyriaDayofRage

IS THIS ASSAD’S GOAL? IS THIS WHAT HIS FORCES LOOK FORWARD TO? IS THIS WAHT HIS SUPPORTERS CHEER? Homs (Rastan): Apr 12, 2013 - She’s bleeding, bruised and broken. She’s only a little girl, injured when Assad’s forces shelled her home. 

Is this a ‘civil war’? Is this little girl part of the ‘other side’?

Thanks @Lccsy

TERROR. FEAR. CHAOS. AGONY. DEATH. DESPAIR. ALL ON A NORMAL DAY IN RASTAN. Homs (Rastan): Mar 24, 2013 - Moments after Assad’s airforce strike this neighborhood in Rastan, you can see the terror that people in this town live with each day and night. A little boy, no older than 5 lays dead on the side of a home, screaming women and children everywhere, more dead bodies lie up ahead … this is ‘life’ for these people. This is how Assad and the world wants them to live.

Thanks @PROM201

PANIC. CHAOS. ANGER AND ANGUISH MOMENTS AFTER A SHELL HIT’S THIS TOWN. Homs (Rastan): Mar 21, 2013 - The shell landed in the middle of the road. Assad’s forces do not ‘aim’ for specific targets, they fire anywhere they wish onto the town, every Syrian is their enemy. 

Near the end of the video you can see an injured woman being driven away in the back of a truck scream “where is my son! where is my son!”

A little boy who was injured in the attack. I do not know if he is the son of the mother from above.

Thanks @Budour48 @syrianhr

WE DONT ASK FOR MUCH, ONLY THAT YOU TAKE 6 SECONDS OF YOUR LIFE TO REMEMBER THIS LITTLE GIRL. Homs (Rastan): Mar 20, 2013 - Noura Ammar Al Tiabanni was killed by Assad’s forces in her home of Rastan. As you can see in the brief video, doctors tried to save her life but were unable to … a combination of brutal force used to kill her and the lack of adequate medical supplies ensured that she would die.

Even though we have nothing more than 6 seconds by which to remember her by, we will still remember Noura and the tens of thousands of martyrs across Syria the same way.

Thanks @SyriaDayofRage

***GRAPHIC*** SHE WAS KILLED ALONG WITH HER UNBORN CHILD BY ASSAD’S FORCES. Homs (Rastan): Mar 20, 2013 - A very disturbing video to watch. An unborn child has the back of it’s skull blown off. The womb of it’s mother offered no protection against Assad’s forces. The mother could do nothing to save her little baby either in the face of such brutal force used against her. Both are dead.

This makes the above case the third one I know of in 2013 of Assad murdering a pregnant woman and her unborn child. As one can see below, Assad’s forces have an intentional and systematic strategy of murdering pregnant women.

On March 17, 2013 in Madamiyeh, Damascus Assad’s forces shot and killed Aisha Qatash at a checkpoint. She died along with her unborn child (video here)

On March 13, 2013 Asma Al Zoubi was killed in Daraa when Assad’s forces shelled her home. Doctors tried to save her unborn child but were unsuccessful. (video here)

In 2012 alone the grim list reads as follows:

An 8 month old fetus killed in Homs on Feb 5th, 2012 (video here)

A 7 month old fetus killed in Douma, Damascus on June 25, 2012 (video here)

A mother and her fetus are killed in Homs on Oct 16th, 2012 (video here)

A mother and 9 month old fetus are killed in Homs on Sept 4th, 2012 (video here)

A mother is killed and her fetus saved in Homs on Sept 5th, 2012 (video here)

A fetus is killed in Dier Ezzor on Sept 9th, 2012 (video here)

An Assadist sniper shoots dead a pregnant mother, killing her and her unborn child in Aleppo on Sept 21st, 2012 (video here)

A mother in Homs (Eastern Boweidah) is killed along with her unborn child during a shelling attack on Oct 2, 2012. (video here)

A pregnant mother is being dragged to safety after Assad’s forces shot her in Jbeilah, Dier Ezzor on Oct 28, 2012 (video here

Thanks @LccSy

“DON’T SAY HE’S A MARTYR! HE’S GOING TO WAKE UP NOW!” Homs (Rastan): Feb 22, 2013 - The anguished parent of little Abdul Rahman Qurman is in disbelief. The boy is dead, he was killed by Assad’s forces when they shelled his home. He was one of several dozen … yes, several dozen, children killed on this day alone. They were all killed by a man who wishes to kill every child in Syria so that one day he can pass his throne to his own child to rule Syria in tyranny.

How many parents across Syria must suffer this pain and anguish each day?

Thanks @Lccsy

THERE WAS NOTHING SHE COULD DO TO PROTECT HER LITTLE SISTER. THEY WERE BOTH KILLED. Homs (Rastan): Feb 22, 2013 - Raghad Mansour and her little sister Noura were killed when Assad’s forces shelled their home. Every single day for well over a year Assad’s forces shell this town, and almost everyday more children are killed.

Thanks @PROM201 

THERE IS NOTHING LEFT OF THESE TWO LITTLE BOYS EXCEPT FOR PEICES OF FLESH AND SMALL BODY PARTS. Homs (Rastan): Feb 13, 2013 - Locals dug through the night and into the early hours of the morning with their bare hands to unearth Mohamed and Abdul-Kareem Al Khatib. They knew that they were dead, no living creature on Earth could survive the horrific, violent and brutal attack that Assad’s forces used against the home of these two children.

Piece be piece, they recovered the body parts. A foot. A hand. A pile of flesh. This was all that was left of them.

Thanks @EatingMyPeaz

THE FATE OF OUR CHILDREN IS THIS. TO BE CRUSHED TO DEATH BY A TYRANT BECAUSE OF HIS REFUSAL TO LEAVE. Homs (Rastan): Jan 31, 2013 - Assad’s forces chose to kill Rahaf Sheikh Ali instead of standing with their fellow Syrians to demand freedom. They would rather murder little girls by shelling their homes instead of fighting for freedom.

Assad has killed close to 5,000 children since March 15, 2011. 

Rahaf’s sister was also killed. She was turned into a pile of charred flesh and bone. This is her mother. This is how she will see her daughter for the last time.

Thanks @EatingMyPeaz

TO SAY ASSAD HAS BOMBED SYRIA BACK 100 YEARS IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT Homs (Rastan): Jan 24, 2013 - These women and children are seeking shelter from Assad’s non-stop shelling in … a cave. There is no where else for them to go. No refuge. No safe place, nowhere. All they can do is wait for the next bomb, shell, rocket or missile to strike. 

In the North of country in Idleb, another family is actually living in a cave. There is no where else for them to seek shelter from the shelling and the cold. (video here)

Thanks @LccSy

HOW MUCH LONGER CAN ASSAD GO ON DOING THIS TO OUR CHILDREN? Homs (Rastan): Jan 12, 2013 - Assad’s forces will continue to attack the children of Syria until the very last bullet. So deep is their hatred for Syrians that as long as Russia and Iran continue to send them arms, they will continue to kill Syria’s future … Syria’s children. 

This little boy is a victim of Assad’s shelling. I do not know if he survived or not.

More injured children:

Thanks @SyriaDayofRage

THERE IS NO SAFE PLACE FOR THE WOMEN AND CHILDREN OF THIS TOWN. Homs (Rastan): Dec 28, 2012 - They have no refuge, no safe shelter and no where to flee to from Assad’s forces. They must endure the daily shelling and airstrikes until Assad, his forces and his supporters are overthrown. 

Thanks @farGar

MUCH LIKE THEIR ANCESTORS BEFORE THEM, THESE CHILDREN CHOP WOOD TO BURN. Homs (Rastan): Nov 27, 2012 - In addition to the daily shelling and unbearable siege, there is little electricity and no cooking gas (mazot) available, so these children are now doing what people did 100 years ago, they chop wood to burn …
