A Syrian photographer working for the German press agency DPA was tragically killed in an airstrike in the Hama countryside. The photographer was accompanying and reporting on the advance of a rebel alliance in the region.
The incident occurred near the town of Morek, approximately 17 miles north of Hama, where government forces are engaged in fierce fighting with rebel opposition groups. The northern countryside of Hama has been a hotspot of conflict, especially following the recent capture of Aleppo by rebel forces.
