Syria: Massacre in Tremseh, Province of Hama

Again a “blood bath by close to the government troops”, this time, in the province of the Syrian city of Hama.

According to the information of more or less unnamed opposition, the Syrian town Tremseh was attacked by government troops using heavy artillery, helicopters and armored vehicles.

Afterwards “Alawite militias” soared “through the smoking ruins and have carried out a massacre at the residents” – in line with the well-known scheme. 200 victims, all victims were peaceful civilians, of course.

There is another no less or more credible source, namely the “Syrian Observatory for Human Rights” (SOHR), based in London, which is a bit stingy and estimates the victims only with 150. Of course, this does not change the information as such.


What are a bit odd about this information are the details of the unrelenting shelling of the village Tremseh, Province of Hama. One thinks:

a peaceful place. Sleepy flies buzzing around, dignified old men in white caftans are sitting on the benches and are gazing after the teenagers when they drive away on mopeds, young women in colorful clothes with babies in their arms.

A heavy bombardment, when there is nobody who could afford a significant resistance? Heavy shelling by artillery sounds a bit useless and senseless, considering this village.

Back then, Shamil Basayev got a chance in Budyonnovsk (Budyonnovsk hospital hostage crisis) without own artillery and airforce. The Chechen fighter Salman Raduyev has also not taken the Dagestan Kizlyar with armored wedges, a light infantry was all he has needed to capture it (Kizlyar-Pervomayskoye hostage crisis).

But in Tremseh, the ground was first made clear from the air and then from a distance?

When one takes other examples from the Russian Chechen wars (they are reminiscent in many ways to the current situation in Syria, except that they were easier to be localized by Russia, than the large field of actions of the terrorists in Syria) – for example, the storm of the settlement of Komsomolskoye (Saadi-Kotar) – yes, the “Putin regime” had to use the entire range of the above-mentioned arms at that time: Buratinos (TOS-1 Buratino), air force, tanks.

The only peculiarity of Komsomolskoye was that there were no “peaceful civilians”. That is, no, there were some natural, but well mixed with about a half thousand armed fighters, of which 1,200 have ultimately remained there. There, it was logical to use heavy weapons and helicopters.

If one takes it here in consideration, that the Syrian army is currently engaged in  methodical operations of purges in the provinces of Homs, Hama, Idlib (Idleb) and Aleppo, that another “stronghold”, namely Ar Rastan (Al Rastan), is surrounded and is likely to be soon the target after Homs, so the whole situation looks quite different.

It makes no sense, to command the use of so much heavy machinery, military, resources – in short: combat power – in order to stage a massacre in a small village. But if one allows the proposition, that in Tremseh, larger rebel units could have been excavated, so everything moves into place, so that one is able to classify this information.

The Syrian government has shared relatively small losses in the armed forces after the operation there.

Depending on the source one reads, 3 to 5 members of the army. For comparison, the storming of Komsomolskaya, that was already above mentioned: on (again, depending on the source) 500-1200 liquidated bandits, about 50 Russian military personnel were killed.

A similar proportion as now in the Syrian village of Tremseh – and just in order to protect the lives of soldiers, Komsomolskoye was pretreated prior to the assault with a hail of fire and steel. So in Tremseh it was most likely an operation in order to destroy fortified rebel gangs there.

The now widely rumored version of staging a massacre by the Shabiha-bugbears (specters) seems very far-fetched when one considers the events in the Syrian city of Hama and other provinces of Syria. One has to wait what will be reported and documented in the upcoming days and weeks. The first pictures, published by London’s “Observatory”, show about 20 corpses of quite adult males.
