ALEPPO, Syria — Syria's rebels are currently building up their troops in the northern countryside of Aleppo, as there have been talks about a possible imminent attack by the Islamic State (IS). On April 7, the group carried out two suicide attacks targeting two locations of the Sham Front — a unification of former forces including the Jaish al-Mujahedeen and the Islamic Front among others — in northern Aleppo.
The two bombings that took place simultaneously in the town of Marea and the village of Hawar Killis left 31 fighters dead among the rebels, including Yahya Hafez (aka Abu Maryam), a leader with the Sham Front.
