US, Assad?s jets kill 25 civilians in Syria
Rebels kill Syrian air force pilot
BEIRUT: Separate air raids in **rthern Syria by regime aircraft and warplanes of the US-led international coalition killed at least 25 civilians on Friday, a monitoring group said. President Bashar al-Assad’s air force attacked a crowded market in Aleppo city’s rebel-held district of Tariq al-Bab, killing 11 people, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported. A**ther five people were killed in an air raid on the southern rebel-held neighbourhood of Sheikh Said, it said. The Britain-based monitor said rebel bombardment of government-held districts killed two civilians in the city that has been divided since July 2012. It also said a coalition raid on the **rthern city of Manbij, where US-backed fighters are battling the Islamic State jihadist group, killed two women and their seven children. Kurdish and Syrian Arab fighters have been advancing on Manbij, an important waypoint between the Turkish border and Raqa, the jihadists’ de facto capital. The conflict in Syria has killed more than 280,000 people over the past five years and displaced millions from their homes. Meanwhile, Islamist rebels captured and killed a Syrian air force pilot after his plane crashed near Damascus on Friday, the army said. A monitoring group, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, said earlier that the plane went down in the mountai**us region of Qalamun, **rthwest of the capital. The pilot ejected and landed near the town of Jayrud, 60-km **rtheast of Damascus, it said. The army, quoted by state news agency SANA, said the pilot landed in an area controlled by Jaish al-Islam rebels after his plane developed "a technical problem during an exercise". "This crime committed by the terrorists of Jaish al-Islam will **t go unpunished," it said. The Saudi-backed rebel group claimed it had hit the plane -- identified as a Russian-made Sukhoi Su-22 -- and captured the pilot. Jaish al-Islam’s spokesman, Islam Alloush, posted a photo and a video of the pilot on his Twitter account, saying he belonged to the Alawite sect of President Bashar al-Assad. He later said that a jihadist with Al-Nusra Front, Al-Qaeda’s affiliate in Syria, had executed the pilot. Several government aircraft have been shot down by rebels or crashed because of technical faults since Syria’s civil war began five years ago. The conflict has killed more than 280,000 people and displaced millions. أكثر... ??????? ??????: US, Assad?s jets kill 25 civilians in Syria || ??????: ahlam1399 || ??????: اسم منتداك
