Amateur video appears to shows airstrikes and Syrian tanks coming under attack

This how rebels responded to a stepped up military offensive in Darraya, eventually focusing their gunfire at this escaping soldier.

Fighter jets swooped in on Homs, where an estimated 15,000 Sunni civilians are trapped, in this latest video posted to a social media website whose content Reuters cannot indepedently verify. Activists say 120 civilians and at least 30 fighters have been killed there this week.

And the burning wreckage of a military jet hit by rebel forces over Aleppo.

The conflict has reached every province in the country including the once sacred Damascus where locals could be seen scrambling in the aftermath of an attack.

Syrian authorities have not commented directly on the latest offensive, but activists throughout Syria reported an influx of troops.
