The Islamic State of Iraq and Al-Sham (ISIS) is once again on the offensive in northern Aleppo, targeting the Turkish-backed Islamist rebels near the strategic city of Mar’e’ near the Turkish-Aleppo border.

Earlier this morning, the terrorist group claimed they had captured 5 villages from the Islamist rebels of Harakat Ahrar Al-Sham, Jabhat Al-Shamiyah (Levantine Front), and the Free Syrian Army (FSA) after a series of intense firefights.

ISIS claimed they captured Qara Mazra’a, Dalha, and 3 other villages that they did not specify in their announcement.
