AMMAN, July 4 (Reuters) - Syrian troops stormed houses in
the city of Hama on Monday as thousands of residents took to the
streets shouting "God is greater" in defiance of a government
crackdown on recent large protests, residents said.
"At least 30 buses carrying soldiers and security police
entered Hama this morning. They are firing randomly in
residential neighbourhoods," one of the residents, a workshop
owner who gave his name as Ahmad, said by telephone.
He said he had seen dozens of soldiers surround a house in
the Mashaa neighbourhood and make arrests.
