Rebels will do anything for help

A questionable rebel jihad group who are believed to have ties to al Qaeda fought along side the Syrian rebels to seize a government missile defense base in Syria on Friday, activists said. The rebels seized the base on Friday night, the rebels don't seem to be alone though, the Al Qaeda and jihad forces seem to be playing a major role in the Syrian rebels weapons and helping them capture government sites to gain power. The reason they are trying to focus on air bases is because planes and helicopters are two of few things that the rebels can't do anything about, the only thing they can do is taking bases to minimize government air assaults on Syrian villages. The problems that the villagers face is since the rebels don't have an anti-air force they have to accept the Syrian president or have their homes burned to the ground.
