Armed Terrorist Groups Attack Official and Police Departments in Hama Using Machineguns and Molotov Cocktails

An official source stated that armed groups began an intense armed assault tactic on Monday using live ammo and Molotov cocktails against official and police departments in the city of Hama.

The source said that armed men carrying machineguns are using motorbikes and some of them are stationed on rooftops and that at dawn they began opening fire heavily on departments, targeting windows and entrances. They also threw Molotov cocktails at these departments to set them on fire.

This attack forced workers in some of these departments to remain where they are due to the shooting that prevents them from going in or out.

The source said that the army is still pursuing its mission of removing the roadblocks set by saboteur groups on the city’s main entrances, and that a wide scale conflict is taking place since these groups are organized into units and use advanced weapons, in addition to laying traps in main streets.
