Got some breaking news overseas and Syria and desperate search for survivors is underway right now after a string of government airstrikes.

On rebel areas.

You manage your video there of what the rebels claim as a military helicopter being shot down.

Warplanes reportedly hit a village that was packed with innocent families.

Several buildings and homes have been turned to rubble in that village -- -- -- there is following this live from the -- -- so we -- what do we know about these airstrikes.

Late Martha the latest numbers we have right now is needed to death hole he's in at least -- dozens and he's kind of air strike to becoming a hallmark of -- Syrian civil war is the government is trying to deny the rebels.

Any kind of place to be able to.

Operate from -- it is impossible right now.

Could tell who was inside his apartment building was it simply civilians or were these rebel.

Headquarters obviously there is a desperate search and rescue underway.

And also recovery effort under way to try to bring out the bodies from inside.

Of these buildings in this shows.

Out in the desert -- out in this series.

Civilian populations -- who countryside in the steering air force Martha is all -- willing to bombed indiscriminately to try and keep.

Running around -- so called SA sevens which are surface to air missiles.

Air defense system that means the bombers.

Have to apply a little bit higher makes them less accurate more likely to have a lot of civilian casualties but this also -- the other way number.

He's revolutionaries are hardcore.

Islamic Jihad as soon as we saw.

Inside of Libya they can fall in -- very very different hands these missiles and sophisticated weapons -- Just in the past week hearing -- real.

In Gaza militants there fired on an Israeli Air Force helicopter with a surface to air missile most likely source of that surface to air missile was that it was smuggled out of Libya during the -- civil war and then passed on to the Gaza militants so maybe the Syrian militants have these weapons now who knows who has been six months or a year from now and in my concern that -- as weapons -- -- -- happened in his hands -- thank you very.
