Syrian Air Force carries out 200 airstrikes in 36-hours in rebel-held areas

The situation in Syria appears to be hazy with the Syrian Air Force carrying out nearly 200 airstrikes on rebel positions in a period of 36-hours bbc.com. The strikes targeted rebel-held areas in Quneitra, Deraa, and the Damascus countryside, Hama, Idlib and Aleppo.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the raids took place mostly in western areas between midnight on Sunday and noon on Tuesday but could not provide any figure of casualties.
The intensified strikes by the Syrian Air Force comes even as US-led forces continue to bomb Islamic State (IS) militants in Syria and Iraq. The US and Arab jets have been attacking IS positions in around the northern Syrian town of Kobane, where Kurdish fighters are under siege.
Incidentally, the US had airdropped military aid for Kurds but, it seems, one of the packets have fallen into the hands of the IS and they have released a video of the same. This has been confirmed by a spokesman of the Pentagon – he has said that the vast majority of the bundles had ended up in the Kurds' hands but he was aware of one that had not.
