Or just wait for the home video release when you can skip ahead to the good parts.The new toll, which the activists calculated based on reports from people in Hama using satellite phones, doubled the rough count of civilian dead there to more than 200 since the military's tanks began shelling the city over the weekend.

The military's assault on Hama, a linchpin of the five-month-old uprising against the government of President Bashar al-Assad represents one of the fiercest efforts yet to crush the protesters and is a signal of Mr. Assad's defiance in the face of growing international condemnation. Activists say the overall death toll from the crackdown since March is more than 1,700.

With foreign journalists barred from the country and the government silent about most aspects of the rebellion, activists have been the main source of information about the government crackdown and civilian casualties.

Satellite connections offered perhaps the only route left to get information out. Activists said they feared that the near total media blackout on the city would allow the military to pursue an unrestrained assault. Their fear was deepened by the painful legacy of the government's actions in Hama in 1982, when Mr. Assad's father, Hafez, then the president, crushed an uprising out of the international spotlight, leaving at least 10,000 people dead and parts of the city in ruins. Other activists spoke of a critical shortage of basic food items and medical equipment. Hama has been surrounded since Sunday. Tanks and snipers seized the central square on Wednesday, and cars trying to carry food into the city have been attacked, according to reports in recent days. Activists said that doctors trying to treat the wounded were being detained. "What are they going to do next? Bomb Syrian cities and towns with warplanes?" said Louay Hussein, a prominent opposition figure in Syria "This is an enemy of the country. It is not a government anymore." Saleh al-Hamawi, an activist with the Local Coordination Committees, a group that helps organize and document protests, said via a satellite phone from Hama that the shelling of the city had begun in the early hours of Thursday and that it had been sporadic since then. "We are facing a food and medical equipment crisis," Mr. Hamawi said. "We don't have flour or vegetables. People are borrowing food from their neighbors."
