Rebels target air base in battle against aerial bombardment in Syria

Rebel fighters in syria begain to move again the air attacks that they have been facing from the Syrian government fighters recently.Government fighter jets have become fixtures in the skies over Syria, swooping over embattled cities, strewing lethal ordnance by the bushel onto neighborhoods below. Many are heavy bombs detonating into towering mushroom clouds that blow through cities as gritty fog and spread in videos across the internet.At least 162 lives were lost Saturday across the country, according to the opposition Local Coordination Committees of Syria, including 52 killed in Damascus and its suburbs and 47 in Idlib province.Of 16 killed when a warplane shelled Zamalka in the Damascus suburbs, the LCC said, most were women and children. LCC spokesman Hamzeh Abu Hussam, in Binnish, told CNN that government air forces were bombarding civilian areas in nearby towns as punishment against civilians for the FSA offensive on the airport. Hamzeh Abu Hussam is his nom de guerre.
