Rebel forces in the northern province of Aleppo announced the formation of the Revolutionary Transitional Council in a statement aired on Al Arabiya on Friday.
\u201c[The Revolutionary Transitional Council] includes all those working in the revolution; civilians, politicians and military men,\u201d one member of the newly formed council said in a statement recorded on a video.
The council aims to \u201cfacilitate the formation for a [wider] national transitional council to include all of the Syrian provinces,\u201d he added.
\u201cIn a time where the Syrian revolution has reached to a more developed stage, there needs to be an incubator inside Syrian territory to lead the revolution from the inside.\u201d
While the main Syrian opposition group, the Syrian National Council, has a military section, many of its political leaders and figures are living abroad, and their meetings happen to be outside the country in Turkey, France or Germany.
\u201cThe council is a pioneering example for other provinces to follow.\u201d<\/p>\n

Opposition not unified<\/strong><\/p>\n

Syrian opposition forces have long being criticized for being divisive and not unified. Western nations have also called on Syrian opposition forces to be prepared to be ready to fill the void if President Bashar al-Assad\u2019s regime collapses.
On Monday, French President Francois Hollande called on opposition to form a transitional government and for the establishment of liberated zones in Syria.
\u201cFrance asks the Syrian opposition to constitute a provisional government that is inclusive, representative, that can become the legitimate representative of the new Syria,\u201d Hollande said in a speech in Paris to his nation\u2019s ambassadors. \u201cFrance would recognize the provisional government once it has been formed.\u201d
Regime\u2019s violence in Aleppo
While, the Free Syrian Army dubbed their operation against Assad\u2019s forces as \u201cthe northern volcano,\u201d Human Rights Watch (HRW) said in a report on Thursday that the Syrian forces have bombed people while they were queuing for bread in Aleppo.
HRW said Syrian jets and artillery have struck at least 10 bakeries in Aleppo in the last three weeks, killing dozens of people as they waited in line to buy bread.
The U.S.-based group said the attacks were either aimed at or were done without care to avoid the hundred of civilians forced to queue outside a dwindling number of bakeries in Syria’s biggest city, a front line in the civil war.
\u201cThe attacks are at least recklessly indiscriminate and the pattern and number of attacks suggest that government forces have been targeting civilians,\u201d HRW said.
\u201cBoth reckless indiscriminate attacks and deliberately targeting civilians are war crimes.\u201d
One attack on Aug. 16 killed around 60 people and wounded more than 70, said HRW, which sent a researcher to the embattled city.
Thousands of rebels from Aleppo\u2019s countryside began moving into the city, Syria\u2019s economic hub, in July. Many moved their fighters into schools and other buildings in residential neighborhoods, leading to high civilian casualties as Assad\u2019s forces pounded rebel-held areas with air strikes and artillery.
HRW said in five of the cases it investigated, there was no military target near the bakeries other than a few fighters maintaining order in the bread lines, meaning the areas were \u201cclearly civilian objects.\u201d
\u201cEvery pilot who deliberately launches a rocket at a bread line of civilians, and every commander who gives such an order, should face justice for their crimes,\u201d Ole Solvang, the HRW researcher who visited Aleppo.<\/p>\n

Futile meeting at Security Council<\/strong><\/p>\n

A U.N. Security Council meeting on Syria\u2019s aid crisis achieved nothing new on Thursday except to highlight global paralysis on the 17-month conflict as western powers warned that military action to secure civilian safe zones was still an option.
\u201cHow long are we going to sit and watch while an entire generation is being wiped out by random bombardment and deliberate mass targeting?\u201d Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu asked the Security Council.
Meanwhile, U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, Susan Rice, said no amount of aid would end the bloodshed and suffering. \u201cThat day will come only once Assad has departed and a peaceful Syrian-led transition to democracy has begun,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Free Syrian Army claims downed fighter jet in Idlib<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Free Syrian Army (FSA) claimed Thursday that it had downed a Syrian military fighter jet in the northwestern province of Idlib.
In the video, which was exclusively obtained by Al Arabiya, a crowd of Syrian rebels shout \u201cAllah Akbar\u201d — \u201cGod is great\u201d — as the airplane falls from the sky, billowing smoke.
Two pilots can be seen in the video, descending in parachutes after ejecting from the jet.
The FSA also claimed on Thursday that it had destroyed 11 helicopters and a number of tanks around Tiftiaz military airport, in the northern city of Aleppo, where there has been heavy fighting between the resistance and troops loyal to President Bashar al-Assad.
The rebel forces on Wednesday started targeting the airport, which is considered to be one of the largest bases in the country for military helicopters.
The Syrian army has been bombarding the less heavily armed rebels with helicopters and jets as they fight for control of the country, inflicting large casualties.
On Monday, Syrian opposition fighters made headlines when they downed a helicopter in Damascus.<\/p>\n
