This video shows images of a burning building reported to be in the Ar-Rastan area of the Homs governorate. Smoke can be seen billowing out of the building, and flames are visible inside through a small window. According to the uploader, the damage is a result of “indiscriminate shelling” of the city. Shots can be heard in the background.

This video shows scenes from a mass funeral which took place in the Khalidiya area of Homs on February 4. Several were killed in the area following a series of reported mortar attacks on February 3 which took place following a confrontation between anti-Assad forces and on pro-regime militia in the area. At the beginning of the video, a hand holding what appears to be a spent mortar shell fin can be seen.
