STORY HIGHLIGHTS

The Iranian pilgrims were abducted in August

Shelling continues in some cities Friday

U.N. condemned Syria's shelling if a border town in Turkey

(CNN) -- Syrian rebels said they will start executing a group of about 48 Shiite pilgrims from Iran if Tehran does not comply with their demands, according to a video posted on YouTube this week.

The pilgrims were abducted in August.

In the video, a rebel officer dressed in camouflage standing in front of what appeared to be a group of hostages, addressed the Iranian and Syrian governments.

"Within 48 hours starting from the moment this statement is read, we inform you that for every martyr who gets killed by the Syrian regime, we will kill one of the Iranian hostages."

CNN can not verify the authenticity of the video.

Where the border clashes are taking place

In August, Iran's foreign ministry had said it was working through diplomatic channels, such as the United Nations, to get the hostages free.

In other developments:

Shelling continues in some cities

Shelling continued in several cities such as Daraa, Homs, Aleppo and Hama, Friday, the opposition Local Coordination Committees of Syria said.

In Homs, shelling had damaged a number of homes and spread fires, the LCC said. Also warplanes were shelling parts of the town of Marea, in northern Syria, the opposition group said. Marea is about 25 kilometers from the border with Turkey.

U.N. condemns shelling in Turkey

The U.N. Security Council on Thursday condemned Syria's shelling of a border town in Turkey and appealed for restraint from both countries.

"The members of the Security Council underscored that this incident highlighted the grave impact the crisis in Syria has on the security of its neighbors and on regional peace and security," said Gert Rosenthal, ambassador from Guatemala, speaking in his role as council president.

The shelling of the Turkish town of Akcakale resulted in the deaths of five civilians -- all of them women and children -- and a number of injuries, Rosenthal said.

Turkey responded to the Wednesday incident by shelling a Syrian military position.

"Turkey has no interest in a war with Syria," Ibrahim Kalin, foreign policy adviser to Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, said Thursday in a posting on Twitter. "But Turkey is capable of protecting its borders and will retaliate when necessary."
