The great slaughter of the Sunnis by Hafez Al-Assad in 1982 occurred at Hama, which is Biblical Hamath, which will be the northern extent of the prophesied land grant given to Abraham by God.
The southern extent will be Kadesh.
The western extent will be the Mediterranean Sea coasts of Israel and Lebanon. The eastern extent will be the Euphrates River.
Genesis 15:18 – In the same day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates:
Ezekiel 47:17 – And the border from the sea shall be Hazar-enan, the border of Damascus, and the north northward, and the border of Hamath. And this is the north side.
Ezekiel 47:19 – And the south side southward, from Tamar even to the waters of strife in Kadesh, the river to the great sea. And this is the south side southward.
Hama or Hamah (From “the Free Dictionary” by Farlex)
A city of western Syria south-southwest of Aleppo. Settled probably in the Bronze Age, it was a Hittite center in the second millennium B.C. and is frequently mentioned in the Bible as Hamath. Population: 348,000.
Kadesh or Kadish (From Wikipedia)
Kadesh or Qadhesh in Classical Hebrew, also
known as Qadesh-Barnea, was a place in the south of Ancient Israel. The name “Kodesh” means holy. The name “Barnea” may mean desert of wandering.
There are two Kadeshes: one in the north Negev, visited by Abraham and by Moses and the children of Israel two years after leaving Egypt; and the other, on the eastern border by Petra in Transjordan.
The western Kadesh was an important site in Israelite history.
Miriam, the sister of Moses, died there (Nu. 20:1), and Moses disobediently struck the rock that brought forth water at this location (Nu. 20:11). [This is the western Kadesh.]
Numbers 20:1 – Then came the children of Israel, even the whole congregation, into the desert of Zin in the first month: and the people abode in Kadesh; and Miriam died there, and was buried there.
Numbers 20:11 – And Moses lifted up his hand, and with his rod he smote the rock twice: and the water came out abundantly, and the congregation drank, and their beasts also.

The Hama massacre occurred in February 1982, when the Syrian army, under the orders of the president of Syria Hafez al-Assad, conducted a scorched earth policy against the town of Hama in order to quell a revolt by the Sunni Muslim community against the regime of al-Assad. The Hama massacre, personally conducted by president Assad’s younger brother, Rifaat al-Assad, effectively ended the campaign begun in 1976 by Sunni Islamic groups, including the Muslim Brotherhood, against Assad’s regime, whose leaders were disproportionately from president Assad’s own Alawite sect.
Initial diplomatic reports from western countries stated that only 1000 were killed. Subsequent estimates vary, with the lower estimates claiming that at least 10,000 Syrian citizens were killed, the majority civilians, while others put the number at 20,000 (Robert Fisk), or 40,000 (Syrian Human Rights Committee). About 1,000 Syrian soldiers were killed during the operation and large parts of the old city were destroyed. Alongside events like the Black September massacre in Jordan, the attack has been described as among “the single deadliest acts by any Arab government against its own people in the modern Middle East.” The vast majority of the victims were civilians.
According to Syrian media, anti-government rebels initiated the fighting, who “pounced on our comrades while sleeping in their homes and killed whomever they could kill of women and children, mutilating the bodies of the martyrs in the streets, driven, like mad dogs, by their black hatred.” Security forces then “rose to confront these crimes” and “taught the murderers a lesson that has snuffed out their breath”

A defector from the Syrian army said that his forces were responsible for the deaths of a number of soldiers whom the government had claimed were killed at the hands of armed rebels, Al-Arabiya reported Friday.
According to the defector, he ordered the soldiers’ deaths after he saw firing on unarmed civilians in Jisr Al-Shaghur. He said soldiers were repeatedly warned against firing on unarmed residents of the village, but would not listen.
The military source told Al-Arabia that up to 90% of the village was evacuated, but that the remaining women and children were used as human shields.

32 dead in Syria as helicopter gunships fire at protesters

Troops round up protesters in border regions as anti-Assad rallies spread from Damascus to Daraa; thousands of refugees flee to Turkey; UN says Assad refusing to take phone calls from Ban Ki-Moon.
AMMAN – Syrian helicopter gunships fired machine guns to disperse a large pro-democracy protest in the town of Maarat al-Numaan on Friday, witnesses said, a dangerous escalation of force at the end of a day in which 32 civilians were reported killed by Assad’s forces across the country.
The gunship use was the first reported use of air power to quell protests in Syria’s uprising.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said that helicopters fired at the town after security forces on the ground killed five protesters, but said no killings were reported in the assault by the helicopters.
Also on Friday, UN spokesman Martin Nesirky confirmed a report by Kuwait news agency KUNA that Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon had been trying to call Assad on Thursday but was told that the president was “not available.”
He added that Ban had been trying to speak with Assad all week but was unable to get through to him.
AP reported at least 32 protesters shot dead at rallies after Friday prayers.
Thousands of civilians have fled the violence into Turkey, fearing security forces’ revenge for incidents in which 120 troops were reported killed this week.
But protesters, refugees in Turkey and rights activists said some soldiers in the northwest had refused to shoot at protesters and fighting had broken out between loyalist and mutinous forces this week.
“Whether Assad still has the legitimacy to govern his own country, I think is a question everyone needs to consider,” said US Defense Secretary Robert Gates
said on Friday.
Britain, France, Germany and Portugal have asked the UN Security Council to condemn Assad, although veto-wielding Russia has said it would oppose such a move as counter-productive.
World powers have shown no appetite for any Libya-style military intervention in Syria because it sits on a major fault line of Middle East conflict, allied with Iran against nearby Israel. The Syrian leadership has shrugged off mild punitive sanctions imposed so far, and verbal reprimands from abroad.
Assad, 45, has promised reforms, even while cracking down on unrest posing the gravest threat to his 11 years of iron rule.
