Syrian rebel fighters attacked Taftanaz Military Airport on Saturday in protest to the governments excessive use of deadly airpower. Government air forces were bombarding civilian areas in nearby towns as punishment against civilians for the Free Syrian Army (FSA) offensive on the airport. Bombs and shells had leveled 30 houses there, killing seven, including four children. This recent event has also triggered continuing ground battles in Damascus. This series of events, according to CNN, is part of a perpetuating 19 month conflict which has killed more than 35,000 people.
