Report: Military vehicles storm Syrian town
About 200 military vehicles stormed the Syrian town of Jisr al-Shugur on Sunday as helicopter pilots armed with machine guns hovered in the sky, local activists said.
Heavy shelling also fell in the northwestern town, said the Local Coordination Committees of Syria. The network of local committees and human rights activists was launched after Syria’s uprising began months ago.
Meanwhile, Syrian state television reported Sunday that military units have entered Jisr al-Shugur to “cleanse the national hospital from the elements of the armed gangs after disabling the explosives and the various TNT devices that these gangs planted on the bridges and roads.”
