The Islamic State of Iraq and the Sham is said to have withdrawn from Deir Izzour after the Al Nusrah Front and 10 other brigades joined forces against it in the province. ISIS had issued a statement in Deir Izzour proclaiming its innocence and accusing Al Nusrah and Islamic battalions such as Ahrar al Sham of treachery and hypocrisy. ISIS reportedly executed three detainees in Deir Izzour, and Al Nusrah and Islamic battalions executed several ISIS fighters. In Aleppo, Islamic battalions, Al Nusrah, and rebels clashed with regime forces, and several ISIS fighters were killed by Islamic battalions and rebels. The three-day ceasefire in Homs was renewed, and 450 civilians were evacuated today. The second round of Geneva II talks commenced. The Syrian National Coalition accused ISIS of partnership with the Assad regime.
