Syria Live Coverage: Regime Warplanes Strike in Damascus for 1st Time
Monday, December 17, 2012 at 5:13 | James Miller in EA Live, EA Middle East and Turkey, Middle East and Iran 2104 GMT: A micro-blogger has collected a series of videos from the FSA offensive against Halfaya, north of Hama city (map). The city is under heavy rebel attack, as the Free Syrian Army and other units are stretching the front lines to the south. After weeks of ambushes, IED attacks, and generally picking at Assad's supply lines, it appears that the insurgents have moved into Hama province with a vengeance. If this kind of momentum can be sustained over the next few days, it could signal a further Assad military collapse, but this one just kilometers from one of the most important cities in Syria:
