'Half a million' protest on streets of Hama - Middle East - Al Jazeera English: "More than 500,000 Syrians flooded through the city of Hama on Friday, according to activists, in what they claim was the single biggest protest yet against the embattled government of President Bashar al-Assad.
The opposition reported 13 protesters killed, including five deaths in the central city of Homs, two in the capital's commercial neighbourhood Midan and six in the Dumair area, east of Damascus.
Syrian state-run TV said the deaths in Damascus and Homs were caused by snipers from 'armed gangs'.
An activist told Al Jazeera that Hama, where marchers were seen carrying olive branches, had become a 'tangible example of resistance to injustice' in Syria."
