Syrian government airstrikes Tuesday killed at least 39 people, mostly civilians, in two main battlegrounds in the north of the country, a monitor said. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a Britain-based anti-regime monitoring group, said at least 27 people were killed in airstrikes that targeted a livestock market in the village of Khansaa, south of the city of Qamishli. Speaking to AFP, Observatory director Rami Abdel-Rahman said nine of those killed in the village of Khansaa near the town of Tal Hamis had been identified by his group as civilians. More of the dead may be civilians too, but we have not yet been able to confirm that, he added.
Tuesdays regime airstrikes were especially deadly because they struck a cattle market. Some of the bodies were so mutilated by the strikes that people couldnt tell the human from the animal remains, Abdel-Rahman said. Other activists gave estimates ranging from 30 to more than 80 people killed. Conflicting tolls are common in the chaotic aftermath of violent incidents in Syria.

The price of the war has been high on both sides. But, however severe the Syrian govt is, it would be far worse if the rebels or IS(two sides of the same cannibal) take power.
Assad is a darn sight easier on the Syrian Christians than is Obama’s ISIS.

Bad for hump day
Since the islamist terriorists all dress like civilians, and not in uniforms, there is no way to distinguish them.
It’s always hump day at the camel market. OTOH, Assad’s a hump, so every day is hump day in Syria.
