Islamic State militants seized several villages from rival insurgents north of Aleppo city Friday, in a surprise attack that came despite intensive Russian airstrikes that Moscow insists are targeting the extremist group, activists said. Arabic reads, "Targeting positions of the Alawite army in Tal Arn with mortar shells." (Islamic State militant website via AP)
