While in July it may be the same time in Phoenix as it is in Los Angeles, Arizona remains in the Mountain time zone, observing Mountain Standard Time year-round. Arizona is never on Pacific time. Arizona is in the Mountain Time Zone, and (except the Navajo Nation in the northeast corner of the state) does not observe Daylight Saving Time, and therefore does not spring forward in April nor fall back in October.
1982 Hama massacre. The Hama massacre (Arabic language: ÙØ¬Ø²Ø±Ø© Ø­ÙØ§Ø©â) occurred in February 1982, when the Syrian Arab Army and the Defense Companies, under the orders of the country's then-president, Hafez al-Assad, besieged the town of Hama for 27 days in order to quell an uprising by the Muslim Brotherhood against al-Assad's government.
Attack by insurgents in Hama. The events of the Hama massacre began at 2 am on 3 February 1982. An army unit searching the old city stumbled on the hideout of the local guerilla commander, Omar Jawwad (aka Abu Bakr) and were ambushed. Other insurgent cells were alerted by radio and roof-top snipers killed perhaps a score of Syrian soldiers.
