Amateur video out of Syria appears to show a Syrian Army missile base in Homs. The video, which could not be independently verified by Reuters comes amid reports that most members of the missile squadron have defected. More footage appears to show the ongoing bombardment of Homs. Activists say at least 35 people had been killed in a renewed Syrian army effort to regain control of the province. Free Syrian Army rebels have also been intensifying attacks on army patrols, roadblocks and missile batteries. More footage, purportedly from Idlib shows a funeral service for nine people reportedly killed in overnight shelling. UN efforts to bring peace to Syria have largely come to nothing, with both sides blaming the other for breaking the ceasefire. Deborah Lutterbeck, Reuters
