    A video from YouTube showing Syrian rebels using a German 10.5 cm LeFH 18 which is a 105 mm howitzer from the 1930s. The info section of the video claims that the Syrian army supposedly operated a few of these so the rebels most likely captured it from a base. I tagged this because it ties into my question from last week of where did Syria get all of these formerly Nazi made weapons.

    Faced with a cash shortage in its so-called caliphate, the Islamic State group has slashed salaries across the region, asked Raqqa residents to pay utility bills in black market American dollars, and is now releasing detainees for a price of $500 a person. After America blew up Isis's money hideout, they have hit a skid with the money not coming in and the war still raging on.

    The US was able to commit such detrimental airstrikes to ISIS currency storage facilities that the "caliphate" is now cutting salaries. Millions of their finances have been drained since this attack.

    The depth of US plans for a cyber war go beyond just the offense of the Stuxnet virus. The US had a contingency plan with nuclear Iranian facilities pinned as key target in case of an all out cyber war. The plans were drafted at the height of fear of Iran's development of potential nuclear weapons.

    So now the Russians are accusing the US of interfering in Syria. Honestly, keeping up with these reports is ridiculous. The supposed "world powers" are constantly aiming falsified accusations at each other. If you're a "world power" shouldn't you at least have ethos?

    It is a relief to see that water is finally making it back to Aleppo. The city has been under siege and civilians have been deprived of water. This article makes a valid point, showing that water has been used as a weapon of war.

    Fearing being drawn into a endless or devastating conflict, the Italian government has officially come out wary of military intervention in Libya. This comes as thousands of "refugees" and migrants routinely flee war-torn Libya for refuge in Southern Italy. Additionally, there is great fear among Europeans that ISIS militants might travel among these migrants in an effort to infiltrate and conduct terror attacks against Italy.

    The war in Yemen has forced nearly 100,000 people to flee across the Gulf of Aden to Djibouti, a small country in the Horn of Africa. Many live in refugee camps, like Markazi refugee camp, but are unwanted due to "Yemen's reputation for terrorism."

    The war in Syria is costing the lives of many, but theres plenty more that is being lost. Syria is a country that has been continuously inhabited for a very long time. Civilizations have left their marks on the architecture there and there are many great archaeological sites. At the center of Aleppo, lies the great mosque, known for its 1000 year old minaret. The article is about the minaret being lost due to the fighting in the city.

    ISIS supporters and Syrian rebel groups are vowing to turn Syria into a "graveyard for Russians," launching what collectively amounts to an anti-Russia propaganda campaign that in part is calling on fighters to prepare for war against the major world power. Jaish al-Islam, a coalition of Islamist units battling the Syrian regime, is especially contributing to the online fight. This comes after the Russian military upped their bombing efforts against ISIS bases
