BEIRUT (AP) — Syrian rebels on Thursday
bombarded a military air base in Aleppo using a tank captured from
government troops as activists reported that the regime has unleashed
new raids against opposition fighters near the capital Damascus, killing
dozens.
The Aleppo report was one of the first
indications the rebels are starting to deploy the heavy weapons they’ve
managed to capture in the past weeks from the Syrian army. The Syrian
Observatory for Human Rights said the rebel-seized tank shelled the
Menagh military airport outside Aleppo, which the regime has used to
launch attacks on rebel positions in the surrounding area.
