ISIS has dun goof'd big time. Jordan is not going to take this lightly. Executing the 5 ISIS hostages is a given, but it wouldn't surprise me if they tried invading Syria in the near future.

Aleppo, Feb 4, 2015 - At 10 am on Tuesday, February 3, Syrian Regime forces launched an attack on our units’ positions located between the Sheikh Maqsood and Ashrafieh neighborhoods in Aleppo.

As a result of this attack which was carried out using warplanes, one of our comrades Combatant Canda Welat (Şoreş Memo) - from Bilbil village in Efrîn - was martyred.

After the attack our forces of the People’s Defense Units (YPG) led a retaliation assault operation against the regime forces and targeted them in Al-Jawiya Front. During this operation two of the Syrian Regime forces were confirmed killed.

GENEVA, Feb 4 (Reuters) - Islamic State militants are selling abducted Iraqi children at markets as sex slaves, and killing other youth, including by crucifixion or burying them alive, a United Nations watchdog said on Wednesday.

Iraqi boys aged under 18 are increasingly being used by the militant group as suicide bombers, bomb makers, informants or human shields to protect facilities against U.S.-led air strikes, the U.N. Committee on the Rights of the Child said.

"We are really deeply concerned at torture and murder of those children, especially those belonging to minorities, but not only from minorities," committee expert Renate Winter told a news briefing. "The scope of the problem is huge."

Children from the Yazidi sect or Christian communities, but also Shi'ites and Sunnis, have been victims, she said.

"We have had reports of children, especially children who are mentally challenged, who have been used as suicide bombers, most probably without them even understanding," Winter told Reuters. "There was a video placed (online) that showed children at a very young age, approximately eight years of age and younger, to be trained already to become child soldiers."

Jordan confirmed on Wednesday that “The Jordanian King Abdullah II will participate personally on Thursday in conducting air strikes against the shelters of the terrorist ISIL organization to revenge the execution of the Jordanian pilot Maath al-Kassasba by the ISIL.”
