Syrian rebels fight back in Idlib

Dramatic footage of residents in Douma, Syria, fleeing - apparently from gunfire.

Reuters cannot independently verify the content of this video which was posted onto a social media website.

A similar video shows what it says are rebels in the town of Idlib shooting at security forces.

The videos were posted on the same day that UN secretary general Ban Ki Moon said he had received grisly reports of summary executions by authorities in the besieged city of Homs .

Armed forces are reportedly continuing their bombardment of Homs.

Meanwhile, the International Committee of the Red Cross says it is still negotiating with authorities to get aid into the shattered Baba Amro district of the city.

The UN says Syrian security forces have killed more than 7500 civilians since the revolt began a year ago.
