:03:45. > :03:48.This is an audacious operation. That checkpoint down the hill is

:04:12. > :04:13.
:04:13. > :04:18.advance, opening fire. For a while, we are stuck. The rebels do not
:04:18. > :04:24.expect the army to come from behind and with the IED now in the wrong
:04:24. > :04:33.place, they have had to run away. They were outgunned and outflanked

:04:37. > :04:45.ability to respond so that when one battalion is in trouble,
:04:45. > :04:51.reinforcements arrive quickly. They moved in to a revolt area as the

:07:04. > :07:10.his story. TRANSLATION: The Syrian army did this to me. The rebels
:07:10. > :07:15.promise revenge as they vie to attack an army checkpoint. This is

:07:19. > :07:28.Idlib. Like many, they are now getting help from across the border
:07:28. > :07:34.in Turkey. Each unit is given his orders. The fighters are tense as

:07:41. > :07:47.armed with guns and bullets, remains and home-made pipe-bombs,
