The Syrian National Coalition said it would attend the Geneva II talks, and that three rebel groups, Soldiers of the Levant, the Syrian Revolutionaries Front, and the Mujahideen Army, want to be represented in the delegation. An SNC official said the coalition would accept the regime's offer of a ceasefire in Aleppo if the regime stops using barrel bombs; he also said the ceasefire could possibly be extended to Idlib. Regime barrel bombs in Aleppo killed five Islamic State of Iraq and the Sham fighters and another man. ISIS clashed with Islamist and rebel fighters near Hayyan and in Menbej city in Aleppo. Video was released of the beheading of three members of Syrian military intelligence at the historic Krak des Chevaliers in Homs by the jihadist group Jund al Sham. In Raqqah, ISIS took supplies from the Red Cross warehouse yesterday and clashed with regime forces overnight.
