    Damaged military vehicles that belonged to forces loyal to Syria's President Bashar al-Assad are parked at the army's base after it was seized by fighters from the Islamic State outside Syria's northern Raqqa province

    Mon, 11 Aug 2014 12:51 PM

    Damaged military vehicles that belonged to forces loyal to Syria's President Bashar al-Assad are parked at the army's 17th Division base after it was seized by fighters from the Islamic State outside Syria's northern Raqqa province August 10, 2014. In Raqqa, Islamic State's power base in Syria, its hold appears to be growing only firmer even as Syrian government forces intensify air strikes on territory held by the group. One Syrian living in an area of Islamic State control near Raqqa said the number of its fighters in the streets had grown dramatically in the last few weeks, particularly since it captured the army's 17th Division at the end of July.

    Members of the Kurdish People's Protection Units (YPG) facilitate displaced people from the minority Yazidi sect, fleeing violence from forces loyal to the Islamic State in Sinjar town, as they make their way towards the Syrian border, on the outskirts of Sinjar mountain, near the Syrian border town of Elierbeh of Al-Hasakah Governorate August 10, 2014. Islamic State militants have killed at least 500 members of Iraq's Yazidi ethnic minority during their offensive in the north, Iraq's human rights minister told Reuters on Sunday. The Islamic State, which has declared a caliphate in parts of Iraq and Syria, has prompted tens of thousands of Yazidis and Christians to flee for their lives during their push to within a 30-minute drive of the Kurdish regional capital Arbil.
