None
Syrian troops backed by pro-regime militia killed at least 15 people in a Sunni village in the central province of Hama late Friday, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
The group, which relies on a network of activists, doctors and lawyers on the ground, said pro-regime forces carried out a "massacre" using guns and knives to kill residents of Sheikh Hadid village. "Fifteen people were killed – two women, a child and 12 men – by regime forces backed by the Popular Committees and National Defense Forces Alawite militias using guns and knives," the group said Saturday.
