Story of SYRIA ..... Continue Bombardment The government did not wait long to use military force to crush dissent, sending tanks to Deraa in late March 2011. The crackdown intensified as protests spread. The video shows Homs in February 2012 as rockets and mortars began hitting homes in the Baba Amr district, a focus of the unrest and rebel stronghold. After a month of bombardment, which left an estimated 700 people dead, the rebels retreated. Fighting reached the capital Damascus and second city of Aleppo in 2012. Since then, several large-scale offensives by government forces have failed to halt the gradual rebel advance.
