One day after Syrian rebels captured the border post at Tel Abyad, an air strike just south of the area has hit a gas station, causing a massive explosion and killing a large number of people, 54 according to some reports.
Details of the attack were unclear, beyond a Syrian warplane targeting the crowded gas station and killing a large number of people. Rebel factions claimed over 110 people had been killed by the attack.
Local rebel factions deferred on providing a death toll however, though one did say that at least 70 survivors had been taking to a nearby hospital in the provincial capital of Raqqa. Syrian state media hasn’t reported on the incident at all.
Whatever the final toll ends up, it seems almost certain this strike is among the deadliest for an air attack so far in the civil war, and will therefore be used to push the idea of a NATO-imposed no-fly zone at the UN.
As presented, it would appear to be a strike against civilians (crowded); we shall see what was actually happening later and whether the strike killed civilians or militia. We shall see.
The whole world knows how the rebels work, they
Never gather in big groups they work in small groups
Something like four to five in a team, about the large
Gathering in the station is do to lake of gasoline and
Kerosene once they hear a certain gas station have
Fuel they all run the same with the bread lines at a
Bakery, one have to live in the middle-east to know
What goes on over there, the whole middle-east is
A bomb waiting for some one to light the fuse.
Good point about never gather in big groups. Maybe small numbers is the best way for the rebels, and maybe for this very reason the Syrian armed forces manage to prevent larger groups from splitting up. As this report may indicate: http://breakingnews.sy/en/article/7428.html Let's wait till we hear more
