The Damascus regime on Tuesday
carried out dozens of air strikes against Islamic State (ISIS)
positions in northeastern Syria, the Syrian Observatory for
Human Rights reported.
As well, the United States military has carried out
surveillance flights over rebel-held Syrian territory in what
could be a prelude to air strikes against ISIS, the Al Jazeera
news network reported citing US administration sources.
US President Barack Obama authorized the flights on Monday.
Also on Monday, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad said his
regime is willing to work with the international community in
the fight against ISIS, a fundamentalist Islamic militia that is
trying to set up a caliphate out of conquered areas of Iraq and
Syria.
