The Syrian Arab Army’s 87th Brigade of the 10th Tank Division – in coordination with the National Defense Forces (NDF) from Mhardeh – shocked the Islamist rebels of “Liwaa Suqour Al-Ghaab” (Al-Ghaab Hawks Brigade), the Free Syrian Army’s 101st Brigade, Harakat Ahrar Al-Sham, and the Syrian Al-Qaeda group “Jabhat Al-Nusra” with a powerful assault on the imperative town of ‘Atshan in northern Hama

(CNN)—U.S. military cargo planes gave 50 tons of ammunition to rebel groups overnight in northern Syria, using an air drop of 112 pallets as the first step in the Obama Administration's urgent effort to find new ways to support those groups.
Details of the air mission over Syria were confirmed by a U.S. official not authorized to speak publicly because the details have not yet been formally announced.
McCain initially responded to Fox News host Neil Cavuto’s question about whether he would shoot down Russian planes by saying no, but then went on to assert that he would arm Syrian rebels to carry out that very same task.
“I might do what we did in Afghanistan many years ago, to give those guys the ability to shoot down those planes, that equipment is available,” said McCain, adding that the Free Syrian Army would shoot down the planes, “just like the Afghans shot down Russian planes after Russia invaded Afghanistan.”
McCain is referring to how the United States armed Islamic militants in the 1970s, a policy that led to the rise of the Taliban, Al Qaeda, the Muslim Brotherhood and Osama Bin Laden.

On Monday morning, the Islamist rebels of Harakat Ahrar Al-Sham – in coordination with the Free Syrian Army’s “Coastal Brigades” and the Syrian Al-Qaeda group “Jabhat Al-Nusra” – launched a counter-offensive in the Latakia Governorate’s northeastern countryside in order to reverse the Syrian Arab Army’s recent gains near the strategic city of Salma.
However, the Islamist rebels hit some turbulence en route to the imperative town of Doreen, as the Russian Air Force’s MI-24 Hind Helicopter Gunships relentlessly pounded their advancing fighters, killing a large number of enemy combatants from Harakat Ahrar Al-Sham, the Coastal Brigades, and Jabhat Al-Nusra.
