BEIRUT - Russian jets bombed rebel positions in Syria on Thursday including rural areas near the northwestern town of Jisr al-Shughour, which is held by an alliance of insurgents including al-Qaida's Nusra Front, Lebanon-based al-Mayadeen TV said. The jets carried out at least 30 strikes targeting the 'Army of Conquest,' it said in a newsflash. The strikes 'targeted the militants' a newsreader from the pro-Damascus channel said.
