Syrian jets pound Islamic State-held areas for second day
BEIRUT
Syrian army jets carried out at least 25 air strikes on the Islamic State-held city of Palmyra on Friday, a group monitoring the war said, the second intense bombardment in two days of territory held by the militants.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said it was one of the most sustained government bombardments of Palmyra.
On Thursday, Syrian jets had carried out at least 12 air strikes on Raqqa, Islamic State’s de facto capital in the north.
A source told Reuters this week that Syrian forces had started using new types of "very accurate" air and ground weapons supplied by its ally Russia.
The prospect of greater military involvement by Russia has alarmed the United States, which is leading a coalition that has been bombing Islamic State strongholds in both Syria and Iraq.

And now Jerry is meeting with the Russians as it’s obvious what Obama is doing isn’t working.
Jerry=Kerry
Russia probably dumped more ordinance on ISIS in 2 days than the US has in 6 months.
Well, since now they’re comparing Trump to Hitler, it’s time to say YET AGAIN that the story that Hitler was a “conservative” or a “rightist” was a piece of Communist Propaganda put forward by Stalin and his buddies (among them, FDR).
Hitler took his cues from Mussolini, who started out as a card-carrying Communist. Both of them were LEFTISTS.
“NAZI” is an acronym for “National Socialist Workers’ Party.” Big government.
Obama resembles Hitler and Stalin, not Trump.
The Pope should be honoring Putin with a visit next week instead of 0 and his homosexual horde.
“The Pope should be honoring Putin with a visit next week instead of 0 and his homosexual, Muslim horde”.
Here I am cheering on Russian attacks! Go Ivan!!
You fixed it, thanks!
Reading between the lines. The Syrian pilots have had no time to train with such weapons. It's Russian pilots in Syrian marked jets (same as during the Cold War).
I wish the Russians great success. iS/Daesh is the zombie horde from WWZ. They’ve chosen to become moslem “zombies”.
Your remark assumes the “Pope” is a genuine Christian, just like remarks about Obola being an “American” assume he’s really one of us.
Well this ought to put a serious cramp on the sex slave markets
Good for Russia. Putin backs Assad while JugEars backs ISIS.
People seriously try to argue that Putin is worse for the world than Soetoro, LOL.
Actually, Jerry Lewis would be a more credible negotiator.
We knew what you meant... you just left out the “ohn F’n K” to be polite.
The Patriarch of Moscow should call a Crusade and do it the way it should have been done way back when. Enough of this crap. Free Constantinople.
The way things are going, in a few years they may just end up needing to liberate Rome as well.
Didn’t anyone tell the Rooskies that Barry told them to leave the savages alone?
Go lesser of two evils!
