The decision to begin using helicopters reflects the increasing capability of
the FSA (Free Syria Army) in targeting government troops.
“The regime is now using helicopters more after its ground troops
suffered major losses,” said Rami Abdul-Rahman of the Syrian Observatory for
Human Rights.
“Dozens of vehicles have been destroyed or damaged”
Syria’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Jihad Makdissi recently recognised the new threat
posed by the FSA confirming that the rebels are now using anti-tank missiles to
target government units. Videos posted by activists over the past week have
shown many destroyed tanks and armoured personnel carriers, confirming the
sophistication of the weapons the FSA now have at their disposal.
Meanwhile, reports suggest that Syrian government forces are torching wooded
areas along the border with Turkey, forcing rebels to find new routes to
smuggle refugees and wounded civilians out of the country. Journey time
across the border has trebled causing many of the wounded to die before they
can receive medical treatment.
The fires have been lit at specific locations, initially targetting areas of
known rebel or smuggling activity. They signify a new and deliberate tactic
after mines were laid along the same border earlier in the month around
Hatay to restrict border movement.
One of the main crossing points had been a few kilometres away, in the hillier
terrain around the Turkish village of Guvecci, but it is now no longer an
option because of the fires.
Syrian troops stationed in two watchtowers overlooking the slope opposite
Guveccei have a far clearer view of anyone moving across through the charred
stumps and cinders of brushwood that once hid rebels and fleeing civilians.
“Assad is trying to block off all our routes. They are starting fires all
along the border,” said Abu Ahmad Lahlu, a rebel who helps smuggle
Syrian families into Turkey.
