The Liwa Suqour al-Jabal, one of the CIA-backed groups, said it had been hit by 20 missiles in its base in Idlib province.
Among the dead from Wednesday’s strikes was said to be a prominent rebel leader in north Homs province, Captain Iyad al-Deek, a former regime officer who defected early in the uprising.
The rebels have promised to take the fight to the Russians, some in blood-curdling comments online.
“Is it not time for the knight to mount his steed? Is it not time to cut off the heads? What are we waiting for? What remains?” said one man, Mohammad al-Maghaweer, who claimed to be a front-line fighter with Jaish al-Fatah.
Another fighter, Mukhlif Hussein al-Tamer, from Idlib, said: “My message to the Russian bear - no matter how much you gather your force in Syria, do not think we are afraid of your failing forces.”
The rebels also claimed there were a number of civilians among the dead. "The mosque was virtually destroyed, and there was a body under the ruins, and there were eight wounded, among them a child,” said Tareq Abdul-Haq, a media activist who visited Jisr al-Shughour after the Russian bombing.
He said a “poor, civilian” neighbourhood had been hit.
“We've seen many bombings by the Syrian air force, but people told me the whole town shook when the Russians struck, and the damage and the rubble left behind by their weapons was very big. It was out of the ordinary. Syrian air force bombs can't do this.”

So now we know. Syria, that poor beleagured, downtrodden country, has Media Activists. I believe that’s the Middle East version of a Community Organizer? I wonder who pays the Media Activist.
Which is the proper application of force.
Oh they’re all dirtballs I’m sure. In any case this has nothing to do with ISIL whatosever, its just Russia propping up their murderous dictator and giving us the middle finger.
McWeasel has taken selfies with them..
When you are exactly right, which you are, who would kill you?
I saw his offspring on faux today.
She was making noise about Benghazi.
They are the best of us, and they are treated like shit.”
Wholeheartedly agree. Used to be easier to tell who the bad guys really were and some logical reasons why - not so any more. Appreciate all your comments.

I hope none of this is surprising you.
Russia is no fan of Islam.
We support moderate Al Qaida.
One person got mad yesterday saying Assad was brutal and so was his father.
But the Christians that were interviewed said they had relatively no problems before this war,.
Sometimes it scares me to think it, but i think obama might actually like when Christians die.
I find myself cheering for the Russians.
I can’t wait to have an American President.
Funny How Russians don’t care about Mosques being destroyed the same way Barry doesn’t care about Churches being destroyed.
Obama's is, "avoid civilian jihadi casualties at all cost"
Thank you, you are right.
Thanks for the link. Very enlightening. A loose and constantly changing federation of tribes and factions from many sources, including Al-Qaeda and Muslim Brotherhood affiliates. And these are "our guys." Disgusting.
Digging deeper on this federation, there are claims that the dominant faction behind this supposedly "least bad" American backed terrorist group is the Muslim Brotherhood in Syria. What a surprise. Valerie and Bammy's good buddies.
