The Liwa Suqour al-Jabal, one of the CIA-backed groups, said it had been hit by 20 missiles in its base in Idlib province.
Among the dead from Wednesday’s strikes was said to be a prominent rebel leader in north Homs province, Captain Iyad al-Deek, a former regime officer who defected early in the uprising.
The rebels have promised to take the fight to the Russians, some in blood-curdling comments online.
“Is it not time for the knight to mount his steed? Is it not time to cut off the heads? What are we waiting for? What remains?” said one man, Mohammad al-Maghaweer, who claimed to be a front-line fighter with Jaish al-Fatah.
Another fighter, Mukhlif Hussein al-Tamer, from Idlib, said: “My message to the Russian bear - no matter how much you gather your force in Syria, do not think we are afraid of your failing forces.”
The rebels also claimed there were a number of civilians among the dead. "The mosque was virtually destroyed, and there was a body under the ruins, and there were eight wounded, among them a child,” said Tareq Abdul-Haq, a media activist who visited Jisr al-Shughour after the Russian bombing.
He said a “poor, civilian” neighbourhood had been hit.
“We've seen many bombings by the Syrian air force, but people told me the whole town shook when the Russians struck, and the damage and the rubble left behind by their weapons was very big. It was out of the ordinary. Syrian air force bombs can't do this.”

Obama's is, "avoid civilian casualties at all cost"
Which military do you think is going to win?
“I guess the Russian ROE are mucho different than the American ROE...”
Russian General: “We don’t have no stinkin’ ROE’s. We win”.
From Red Heat: “Do you know Miranda?”
“Our artillery could hit a brick $hit house at 20 miles during World War I. We’re much better now”.
General Patton
LOL
no such thing as a good mussie...or one thats on “our” side...
Obama's is, "avoid civilian jihadi casualties at all cost"
Well the comments confirm what the Russian guy said. They certainly talk like terrorists.
“Is it not time for the knight to mount his steed? Is it not time to cut off the heads? What are we waiting for? What remains?” It’s just a flesh wound.
We must have some planes that either are, or look like Russian ones... we could make things rather warm for Mr. Putin....
” knight to mount his steed”
Has a whole different meaning in the muslim world........
I think McCain ought to get over there quickly to console his good buddies!
The Russian military does not go to war with one hand tied behind its back. These rebels are going to get massacred.
“My message to the Russian bear - no matter how much you gather your force in Syria, do not think we are afraid of your failing forces.”
Yeah. Right.
I know that the US could whoop up on Russia pretty well. But, if I were the rag heads in ISIL, I would be careful about poking the bear too much. They are not tops in the Varsity teams, but I think they would do OK in a JV game.
I will make it easy for you Grams...
They are ALL bad guys.
When they stop shooting...we can begin to tell who is whom?
I’m sure we have lots of our own soldiers who are in harm’s way. Wish they would evac all of them now and let all the others have at it.
Russia is the only country where Islam hasn’t increased it’s presence. Putin hates them.
No, there are not very many. I doubt if the Russians will ever see them.
We never should have been there in the first place.
The country used to be about fighting “just” wars.
That ended 70 years ago.
I sympathize with those who are sent to do our dirty work. They are the best of us, and they are treated like shit.
“..The mosque was virtually destroyed”.......
Its a start, so many to go and so little time.
That’s the one!
