The head of the regime’s air defenses died after being wounded in fighting near Damascus. Syrian National Coalition defense minister Asaad Mustafa resigned. The Islamic Front, Jaish Al-Mujahideen, Ajnad Al-Sham, Failaq Al-Sham, and Alweiat Al-Furqa issued a “revolutionary covenant” declaring that their targets are the regime, Hezbollah, and the Islamic State of Iraq and the Sham. The Al Nusrah Front and the Islamic Front battled regime forces in Latakia, Aleppo, Reef Dimashq, and Deraa. The Islamic Front also clashed with regime forces in Hama, Idlib, and Damascus. ISIS clashed with Al Nusrah and the Islamic Front in Deir Izzour. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights protested raids by the Kurdish Interior Security Forces against “supporters for ISIS” in Hasakah; demanded that all rebel factions stop committing human rights violations and war crimes “through targeting civilian areas ın pretext of that there are regime forces and their pro-gunmen”; and claimed it has documented all of the regime’s crimes and human rights violations and will “send the file of these crimes to the International Criminal Court.”
