Syria launches airstrikes on Islamic State strongholdSyria launched a series of airstrikes targeting a stronghold of the Islamic State extremist group on Saturday, killing at least 25 people, most of whom died when one of the missiles slammed into a crowded bakery, activists said.
The eight airstrikes smashed parts of buildings, set cars alight and crushed people under rubble in the northeastern city of Raqqa, which is ruled by the extremist group, according to video of the aftermath uploaded to social media networks.

Hmmm. Looks like a cease fire has been signed in Ukraine
Did anyone notice chemical weapons removed in Syria
Of course they will be very careful not to give this administration credit. I think 95% of the media in this country is made up of ignoramus reporters

I know it's not funny if innocents died, but your joke was pretty good.

(23,946 posts)mainly civilians just shows how much all militaries propagandize and lie about their capability to limit civilian mayhem in urban zones.
As just one example.
Do the pictures for Gaza not make that clear enough?

(1,333 posts)I am more inclined to believe the SAF bombed the terrorists if they said they did. The FSA/terrorists are notorious liars who would do anything to lie about strikes against them.
Anyone remember the fake bakery bombing by Syrian Airforce(SAF)? where the FSA merc were caught on camera dropping flat breads on the ground to give the western viewers the impression that SAF were bombing innocent civilians in a bread factory.
The video is below. Viewer discretion is advised. Video of dead and maimed terrorists in it. But most importantly, video evidence of Syrian rebels/terrorists lying
