Syria

The Al Nusrah Front, the Islamic Front, and the Jaysh al Mujahireen wal Ansar (Emigrants Army) continued to clash with regime forces near the air force intelligence building in Aleppo. The Islamic Front also battled regime forces in Idlib, Hama, and Reef Dimashq. The Islamic Front and rebels have agreed to a weeklong truce with regime forces in Damascus. The head of the Free Syrian Army’s military council in Deir Izzour called for arms and ammunition to repel the Islamic State of Iraq and the Sham’s advance on the provincial capital. Although Al Nusrah, the Islamic Front, the Jaish al Mujahideen, and the FSA are all battling ISIS in the area, the 2,000 ISIS fighters there are said to be better equipped than the 10,000 Al Nusrah and FSA fighters opposing them.
