Syrian warplanes bombed a rebel neighbourhood of Homs on Friday, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said, adding that it was the first time that fighter jets had been used against the central city.
Observatory director Rami Abdel Rahman told AFP that the bombardment of the Khaldiyeh district was the heaviest to hit Syria’s third-largest city in five months.
Activist network the Syrian Revolution General Council said a series of large explosions rocked the neighbourhood after the bombing runs, but had no immediate word on any casualties.
