Syrian planes and helicopters have dropped improvised barrel bombs on Islamic State-held areas in the north-east, which activists say killed at least 40 civilians.
The British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said there had been an increase in air raids by the Syrian military across rebel-held areas in the last three days.
Why is Assad killing us? May God bring vengeance on him.

In the latest raids, the group said barrel bombs containing steel drums full of shrapnel and explosives, were dropped on residential and industrial areas in the city of Al Bab and neighbouring Qabaseen, north-east of Aleppo.
"People were going about scraping a living and there were no armed groups in the market, only poor people. Why is Assad killing us? May God bring vengeance on him," said Yousef al-Saadi, a resident of Qabaseen.
Syrian state media did not report the strikes on Al Bab, a city of around 100,000 people that has been a target of heavy government strikes since the start of US-led military campaign against Islamic State in Syria.
The Human rights group said at least 110 civilians had been killed in more than 470 air strikes on rebel-held areas in Syria in the last 72 hours.
It said the raids had also targeted towns in insurgent-held eastern suburbs of the capital Damascus, where the army has stepped up a two-year campaign to retake the area.
The United Nations and rights groups have repeatedly accused Syria of targeting civilian areas.
The US-led Combined Joint Task Force said it had carried out 39 air strikes on Islamic State targets in Iraq and Syria in the past day.
