Syria monitor, rebels say jets bomb rebel-held town near Israel border

 A Syrian war monitor and rebels on Sunday said jets bombed an opposition held town in Quenitra province in the first such aerial strike in a year.

The UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said they believed the jets that targeted Mashara were Russian that struck from high altitudes.

The Observatory added that government forces fired more than 800 missiles at an area between northern Daraa and Quneitra countryside, about 4 kilometers or 2.5 miles from the frontier with the Golan Heights.

Another rebel source said artillery from nearby Syrian army barracks launched a salvo of missiles on the town.
