Syrian opposition downs Assad regime warplane over Hama

Syrian opposition fighters on Tuesday downed an Assad regime warplane in the eastern countryside of Hama province. Free Syrian Army (FSA) forces in Idlib managed to strike the warplane while it was conducting airstrikes in Hama's eastern countryside and on Idlib's southern outskirts. “A regime L-39 warplane was hit near the villages of Abu Dali and Al-Qaryatayn by antiaircraft batteries," Mustafa al-Hussein, a spokesman for the FSA-affiliated Free Idlib Army said.
