ISIL takes five Syrian border villages
ISIL militants have captured 5 Syrian villages near the Turkish border.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR), a UK-based group tracking the war, said that ISIL had seized five villages, including two near the Turkish border, from other Syrian insurgents. ISIL announced it had captured three villages in the area and said its fighters had nearly encircled the rebel-held town of Marea, some 20 kilometers (12 miles) south of the Turkish border, AzVision.az reported citing Today’s Zaman.

Coalition forces are pounding ISIL positions in the area.

Meanwhile, ISIL militants have killed two Iraqi generals in a twin suicide attack in Anbar Province.
