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-Qaeda'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.
