Russia Says Pounded Hundreds More 'Terrorist Targets' in Syria
2015-11-10
[AnNahar] Russia's air force struck 448 targets throughout Syria over the last three days, the defense ministry said Monday, as Moscow pushed on with its bombing campaign in the war-torn country.
We'll see how long they can continue that operations tempo...
The ministry said in a statement that Russian planes hit a repair workshop for armored vehicles near Kfar Nabuda in Hama province, which belonged to al-Qaeda affiliate al-Nusra
...formally Jabhat an-Nusrah li-Ahli sh-Sham (Support Front for the People of the Levant), also known as al-Qaeda in the Levant. They aim to establish a pan-Arab caliphate. Not the same one as the Islamic State, though .. ...
 Front.

Other targets said to belong to Nusra Front were a command center in Zarbe, a training camp near Kweyris east of Aleppo and a "large munitions stockpile" near Maheen in Homs province.

The air force also said it bombed the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
 group's stronghold Raqa, where two more munition stockpiles were "completely destroyed."

Among other targets was a position used by Nusra Front for launching mortar attacks in Latakia and a stockpile of rockets in the mountains near Damascus kept by the Islamic State group, it said.

It added that jihadist groups have "changed their tactics" by constantly "changing the arms and munitions delivery routes" and moving at night.

The ministry claimed that some of the information on the targets had come from the "Syrian opposition" but did not specify which groups it had worked with.
