Syrian Rebels Work to Cut Off Aleppo

Syrian rebels have capture an air base east of Aleppo and are fighting near Maarat al-Nuaman to take the main highway from Damascus to Aleppo.

If they're successful in capturing the highway, they will have Aleppo all but cut off from the rest of the country.

Fighting continues all over the country, but the rebels seem to be becoming more organized, working together for joint goals.

Thursday's death toll came to a reported two hundred and sixty, including ninety-two government troops.

More than thirty thousand people have been killed, so far, in the civil war.

Turkey scrambled fighter jets along the border after a Syrian helicopter fired into the Syrian side of a border town.
