Amateur video out of Syria shows demonstrators back on the streets of Hama.<br/> The video, which could not be independently verified by Reuters, comes on the same day that at least 40 people were killed in Damascus by suicide car bombers.<br/> Footage purportedly out of Homs shows more demonstrations. Citizens on the streets erect a mock gallows depicting the hanging of President Bashar al-Assad.<br/> More footage reportedly from Deraa shows people crowding the streets calling for the end of Assad's rule.<br/> The United Nations says Assad's forces have killed more than 5,000 people since the uprising began in March.<br/> The intensifying violence on both sides in Syria has raised fears that the country is drifting towards civil war.<br/> State media says Arab League monitors are due to arrive in Syria by the end of the month.<br/> Syria has banned most independent media from the country making it difficult to verify accounts from activists or the government.<br/> Deborah Lutterbeck, Reuters
