#Syria: TwitLonger list of video reports of an aerial attack on Kafr Nabl:
September 27th (2012) a number of videos - all titled as being from Kafr Nabl - was uploaded to Idlib ENN News Network's YouTube channel.

Several of the videos show planes attacking - most of them firing rockets.
In many of the videos the rocket are clearly visible, but still to blurred for me to identify the model.
The sounds of the blasts and the damages video-reported, seems to me, to be larger, than what I would expect from the S-5 rockets (which is the rocket that have been seen most often in videos of ordnance fragments).
S-5 in Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S-5_rocket
In the video-reports, that I've viewed, with same upload date and (stated) location, no fragments of exploded rockets or bombs are visible, which makes impossible for me, other than to speculate as to what kind of rocket were fired. Also, the damages shown might not be caused by the rocket, that are fired in the (other) recordings.
To me the rockets look like they are white, which could match the S-5, but as mentioned earlier, I suspect these were carrying a larger charge. If so they could be a different variant of the S-5. Another possibility I see, is that they were the larger S-8 model.

AlJazeera report from Idlib countryside (uploaded to same channel). Opposition fighters using expended rockets and unexploded bombs to produce grenades.
Many fragments of S-5 rockets. If the man speaking is the same as the man in a pink shirt in previous video, this could be an indication of what kind of rockets, the jets in these videos are firing (this report would have been made some time before september 27th):
