Clashes and Air Strikes for September 8th, 2013

The heat map below shows direct clashes between regime troops and rebel forces and regime air strikes in Syria on September 8th, 2013. Here, a lack of air strikes in Dera'a coincides with a significant intensification of air strikes around Homs city. This suggests that the regime was unable to simultaneously increase strikes in Homs and maintain strikes in Dera'a and, therefore, reallocated its forces.
