Islamic State fighters battle militants in northern Syria
Syrian militants sent reinforcements to fight the Islamic State group in the northern province of Aleppo, where rival factions battled Tuesday near the Turkish border, activists said.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights and Abu al-Hassan Marea, who is currently in Turkey near the Syrian border, said that the battles raged on the northern edge of Aleppo province.
Islamic State fighters captured four villages and a town from al-Qaida's branch in Syria, the Nusra Front, and its allies over the past days in battles in the area.
