At least 50 people were killed today by the Syrian army in the city of Homs, a senior Syrian opposition figure told the Anatolia News Agency.

Tanks from the Syrian army launched a pre-dawn attack on Bab-el Amr neighborhood of Homs, which is largely populated by Turkmens, said Halid Hodja, a member of the Istanbul-based Syrian National Council.
 
Hodja said at least 50 people were killed and many others might have been trapped under debris from leveled buildings.

Meanwhile, amateur videos were uploaded to a Facebook page, alleged to be showing the incidents that took place in Homs on Monday Dec. 26. Hürriyet Daily News could not validate the authenticity of the videos.
