In a letter from ISIS, the infidels of the Syrian army are asked to do penance and retreat from the airbase. This, however, resulted in the death of at least two dozen ISIS terrorists.
"The militants from the Islamic State of Iraq and Al-Sham (ISIS) fired a capsule that contained a letter addressed to the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) at the Kuweires Airbase, demanding their full surrender of the base and their weapons, along with their commitment to repentance for their infidelity to Islam and Allah.
For the soldiers at the Kuweires Airbase in the southeastern part of the Aleppo Governorate, they have committed to not surrendering the base to the militants to ISIS, despite being outnumbered and encircled; this has not deterred the soldiers entrenched at the base from carrying out an offensive from time-to-time.
Over the weekend, the soldiers at the Kuweires Airbase refused to call the phone numbers provided in the letter and as a result, ISIS stormed the village of Karkiz from the south, attempting to infiltrate the SAA’s positions before nightfall; this attack was foiled by the soldiers that were entrenched at the village, resulting in the death of at least two dozen enemy combatants.
On Monday, ISIS attempted to infiltrate into Karkiz for the second time in five days; however, their attack was foiled once again, as the Syrian Arab Air Force provided the imperative coverage for the soldiers protecting the small village directly south of Kuweires Airbase.
According to a military source in Aleppo, ISIS has sustained heavy casualties as a result of their multiple attacks, including a Tunisian field commander and a number of Chechen, Libyan, Saudi, Kuwaiti, and Malaysian militants."

Meanwhile, the SAA recaptured 8 villages from ISIS
"The Syrian Arab Army (SAA) – in coordination with the National Defense Forces (NDF) and Kata’eb Al-Ba’ath – launched a counter-offensive in southeast Al-Hasakah in order to recapture lost territory and to cutoff the Islamic State of Iraq and Al-Sham’s main supply route in the province.
The counter-offensive began on early Monday morning, when the SAA and NDF stormed a number of villages on the road to the ISIS stronghold of Al-Houl; this resulted in extremely violent clashes that aggregated into a high casualty count for all parties involved in these firefights.
After several firefights in the morning, the SAA, NDF, and Al-Ba’ath Battalions were able to capture eight villages in southeast Al-Hasakah, leaving ISIS at risk to have their supply route cutoff to Al-Shadadi; this would create a major dilemma for the ISIS fighters entrenched at Mosul (provincial capital of the Nineveh Governorate in Iraq) and in the Deir Ezzor Governorate.
According to a military source in Al-Hasakah, the SAA and their allies captured the following eight villages on Monday: Al-Salihiyah, Al-Hamir, Ward Al-Shaqra, Sakhar, Al-Sarrab, Al-Mujeebrah, Rajman, and Al-Tabah.
The source further added that the SAA and their allies suffered a confirmed 32 casualties during their offensive in southeast Al-Hasakah; meanwhile, ISIS casualties were estimated between 60-90 militants, including a number of foreign combatants that could not be identified by the SAA."
