Massive tunnel bomb hits Syrian army base

Rebels detonated 60 tonnes of explosives packed underneath a large Syrian army base, blowing a hillside hundreds of feet into the air Video have appeared on social media websites purports to show continuing rebel attacks on Syrian government strongholds and military trucks, said to have been filmed today and yesterday. The first clip purports to show an explosion at the Tallet al-Swadi government checkpoint in rural Idlib. The attack is attributed to the Islamic Front rebel group. The next video purports to show the moment rebels exploded a government stronghold in the al-Manshiyah district of Deraa al-Balaad. Rebels claimed to have caused the explosion from a tunnel beneath the stronghold. The third video purports to show two government trucks in rural Hama carrying heavy machine guns. Rebels are shown firing a wire-guided anti-tank missile, exploding one of the trucks. Rebels fighting to overthrow President Bashar al-Assad regularly carry out guerrilla attacks but have only started using large tunnel bombs in recent weeks on military targets, including a hotel used by soldiers in Aleppo last week. The government boasts far superior firepower and its forces killed more than 40 people, many of them civilians, in air strikes on Wednesday, a monitoring group said. Fifteen people were killed, including three from an emergency medical team, during five air raids in Atarib in the northern province of Aleppo, the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said early on Thursday. Four rebel fighters were killed by air strikes in the same area, while 21 people, including women, were killed in air strikes on the Sarmada area in Idlib, the anti-Assad monitoring group said. Gun battles, air strikes, car bombs, shelling and executions regularly kill more than 200 people a day in Syria, where a conflict that started as a peaceful protest movement has killed over 150,000 people and forced millions from their homes. Despite the carnage and loss of swathes of territory in the north and east to insurgents, Syria plans to hold a presidential election next month that is all but certain to give Assad a third term. Opponents have dismissed the vote as a farce. Get the latest headlines http://www.telegraph.co.uk/ Subscribe to The Telegraph http://www.youtube.com/subscription_c...
