The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) announced that Syrian warplanes bombed areas under the control of the opposition north of Hama, in the time as regime forces seek to thwart the biggest offensive of the opposition in months. SOHR added that air strikes near the town of Allatmana, north-west of Hama, caused the suffocation of a few people, in reference to the possibility of a gas attack.
