Syria

Syria delivered a partial chemical weapons inventory to the OPCW, and is expected to complete it soon. Kurdish YPG forces clashed with Al Nusrah and the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant in Hasakah. Regime forces bombarded an ISIL checkpoint in Raqqah; ISIL executed an Alawite man. Al Nusrah, ISIL, and rebel forces bombarded a town in Raqqah. ISIL partially withdrew from Azar in Aleppo after a truce was negotiated by the Liwa al Tawhid brigade between ISIL and a Free Syrian Army brigade. Fighters from Ahrar al Sham, Al Nusrah, al Haq brigade, al Meqdad Bin Aswad battalion, and Talbisa legions attacked an Alawite village in Homs. The Syrian National Coalition condemned ISIL’s attacks on FSA troops, its disregard for Syrian lives, and its link to a “foreign agenda” and calls for a new state inside Syria. Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, and the UK sent letters to the UN Security Council on behalf of the Syrian National Coalition. Two FSA brigades joined the Al Nusrah Front.
