A regime bombardment in Aleppo city reportedly killed at least 15 civilians and injured scores more. Clashes continued between Kurdish and Islamist forces in Hasakah, in Raqqah, and in Aleppo. Earlier this week, the head of the Syrian National Coalition urged the formation of a new unified rebel force to combat Hezbollah and restore order in eastern Syria, where rebel-held areas are “chaotic.” He said the new force should include “the elite” and be under the command of Free Syrian Army chief General Salim Idriss.
