VIDEO: Syrian helicopters pound militants in northern Hama

Rebel positions and gatherings in northern Hama came under heavy bombardment by the Syrian air force as part of a full-scale offensive on northern Syria.

More than 50 airstrikes rocked the towns of Lataminah, Zakat and Kafr Zita where the FSA-affiliated Jaish Izza is basically located.

The heavy aerial bombardment comes to pave the way for the government troops to break through the insurgent-held areas.
