ISIS demands that all people of age over 14 register their names and contact details at the Islamic police - Hisbah, and gives people of Raqqa 3 days notice to pull their daughters out of universities that are located outside its territory.
Outdated , situation is from 10 am yesterday morning after initial strike , rebel/terrorist forces are in state of disarray. Syrian military , Hezbollah and Iraqi militia already overruned important village Al-Shugaydilah and are now fighting for Al-Hadher.

But they didn`t take it back , they only stalled offensive at Abtin while Syrian army and allies are now fighting for Al-Shughaydilah and after that Al-Hadhar is in sights which is more important.

However, rebel numbers have been stretched by a three-pronged advance on the city; the attack from the south, a similar push from Idlib province towards western Aleppo, where opposition groups had been trying to besiege the regime-held area, and also from a resurgent Islamic State, which is now within striking distance of the city’s northern limits. wrote:
They are getting stretched like pizza dough by multiple front pressure.

It's more complicated than that. The guys who "took" back that settlement hit a dozer and found empty crates of ammo, the reality is that the soldiers supposed to hold the line there just vanished, this is a very big problem. Same for the Gvodzika that got hit with TOW, that's a breach of perimeter, it's crazy.

"Al-Nusra Front" confirm the death of one of their senior leaders, the Saudi Sanafa Al-Nasr, and publish a photo of his grave. Also confirmed killed are two other "Al-Nusra" commanders, the Saudi Abdul Malik al-Jazwari and the Morrocan Abu Yasir al-Maghrebi. All three killed by airstrikes at Aleppo. http://ria.ru/syria_chronicle/20151018/1303914303.html
SAA 4th Mechanised Division with other allied forces take the strategically important Al-Wadihi in Southern Aleppo Governate from a collection of various terrorist groups. http://www.almasdarnews.com/article/breaking-syrian-army-and-hezbollah-recapture-al-wadihi-in-southern-aleppo/
Hey guys can somebody explain to me what SAA's (and allies) strategy is, or could be, with push south of Aleppo?
Problem with these bearded cockroaches is they are all fanatics and those that don't run, hc ones that stay, those will fight till the last of them. SAA push could prove to be very slow, I just hope they can maintain it.
