Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said that the observers came under small arms fire, from civilians, when they tried to approach Qubair.
Reports came out Wednesday that seventy-eight had been killed in the town, by forces loyal to the government.
The Syrian Arab News Agency said that government troops only moved into the area after a family was killed by terrorists.
Bashar al-Jaafari, the Syrian ambassador to the UN, blamed the attack, and previous ones, on armed bandits.
International pressure on Syria has not amounted to any actual results towards peace.
Most of the world's governments have supported sanctions against the country, whilst Russia and China have been adamantly against them.
The original hope for the observer's mission was that their presence would bring peace, but that has been a complete failure.
Rebel groups, and some other Arab nations, have called for UN Peacekeepers to be sent into the strife torn country.
