  • On 6 October, rebels launched an offensive on the border village Khirbet al-Joz in the Idlib governate. The FSA was said to first attacked a government border outpost just west of the village. Which left 3 rebels and 15 government soldiers dead. Fighting later intensified in Khirbet al-Joz itself, as rebels attempted to retake the village. Activists claimed that the rebels had captured a 3-story high water tower in the center of Khirbet al-Joz, after 12 hours of fighting with government forces. On 7 October, the FSA released a statement indicating that they've taken full control of Khirbet al-Joz and its surroundings.
