Syria: IS fighting, Christian retaliation and Assad’s bombs vandalising Syria

According to the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights a Syrian Christian fighter from the Syriac Military Council beheaded a militant of Islamic State in northwest Syria as revenge for the terror group’s violence against the region's minority Christians. The Christian fighter, who was not identified, carried out the execution last Thursday in the village of Tal Shamiram in Syria's Hasakeh province, where Islamic State, also known as ISIS or ISIL, holds large areas of the countryside. They’ve seized more than 95,000 square kilometres of Syria and are now in control of the majority of Syria’s gas and oilfields - providing the terror group with one of its biggest sources of income. Meanwhile over the weekend close to 200 civilians in the Aleppo neighbourhood of Al-Shaar died from more aerial barrel bomb attacks carried out by the army of President Bashar al-Assad. See also:
