At least 10 Syrian army soldiers were killed and a helicopter was destroyed on Sunday when opposition factions shelled Hama’s military airport, according to a rebel statement posted online.
Jaish al-Nasr (Army of Victory), an FSA-linked formation operating in Hama’s northern countryside, issued a statement via Twitter claiming its fighters destroyed a helicopter and killed 10 regime soldiers by targeting the airport with surface-to-surface rockets.
The shelling also caused an ammunition warehouse at the airport to explode.
The attack on the airport comes in response to regime aerial strikes on cities and towns in Hama province, including Murak, Taybat al-Imam, Halfaya, Kafr Zita, Al-Lataminah, Al-Masasinah, Hasraya, Al-Arbaeen, Al-Zakah, and Tel al-Nasiryet.
