Syrian rebels kill 23 troops during fighting in rebel-held Rastan

But in the wake of the intervention by NATO and Arab forces in Libya last
year, they are a further witness to the growing multi-pronged alliance
between NATO and Sunni Arab states, in the face of what they see as the
threat from Iran and allies like Syria.

There was no immediate confirmation from Syrian state media of the number of
deaths in Rastan yesterday, but if the numbers are accurate they would
represent one of the worst losses of life for the army in the conflict.

Mousab Alhamadee, a spokesman for the Local Co-ordinating Committees in Hama,
said the regime had begun shelling and the Free Syrian Army had to defend
the people. At one stage, shells were said to be landing at a rate of one a
minute.

The videos showed men belonging to the “Lion of God Brigade” of the FSA
boasting of having liberated the town completely. “We couldn’t stand in
front of this daily attacks,” the narrator says. Another man says: “We are
the FSA. We have promised the people and God to take revenge against the
killers and we will continue our march until final liberation.”
