Coalition drops ammo to Syrian rebels fighting ISIS | |

[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Coalition aircraft dropped ammunition to Syrian rebels fighting ISIS in northern Aleppo as they try to prevent the turbans from entering the town of Marea, a monitoring group said on Friday.
He said it was the first time the coalition had made such a drop to rebel fighters other than the Kurds, although a US defense official denied this. The official confirmed the drops, but said they did not include light weapons or anti-tank weapons. ISIS fighters swept through rebel-held territory in a shock offensive in Aleppo province late last month, cutting off the main road between Marea and Azaz -- two main rebels bastions in the province. The ISIS advance forced thousands to flee towards the northern frontier with ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... The United Nations ...an idea whose time has gone... said it was "deeply concerned over the fate of an estimated 8,000 Syrians trapped by fighting around the towns of Marea and Sheikh Issa". An unknown number of people are unable to flee due to fighting and the closure of the main road between Marea and Azaz, it added. | |
