This article contains the timeline of events for the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL/ISIS), also self-proclaimed as the Islamic State (IS), from its establishment in April 2013 to the present. For earlier events see Islamic State of Iraq § Timeline. == 2013 events == * On 8 April 2013, having expanded into Syria, the group Islamic State of Iraq (ISI) adopts the name ''Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant'', also known as the ''Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham''. * Starting in April 2013, ISIL makes rapid military gains in northern Syria, where according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, it was "the strongest group". * 11 May: Two car bombs explode in the town of Reyhanlı in Hatay Province, Turkey. At least 51 are killed and 140 injured. The attack is the deadliest single act of terrorism ever to take place on Turkish soil to date. Along with the Syrian intelligence service, ISIL is suspected of carrying out the attack. * On 9 July, the Free Syrian Army's battalion chief Kamal Hamami—better known by his nom de guerre Abu Bassir Al-Jeblawi—is killed by ISIL's Coast region emir in Latakia's rural northern highlands. Al-Jeblawi was travelling to visit the Al-Izz Bin Abdulsalam Brigade operating in the region when ISIL members refused his passage. * On 22 July, ISIL organizes a mass break-out of its members being held in Iraq's prison in Taji and Abu Ghraib prison, freeing more than 500 prisoners, many of them veterans of the Iraqi insurgency (2003–11) or senior commanders of ISIL. ISIL described the operation as involving 12 car bombs, numerous suicide bombers and mortar and rocket fire.〔〔 It was described as the culmination of a one-year campaign which was launched by ISIL leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. * In early August the Menagh Air Base is captured by forces including ISIL.〔 Accessible via Google.〕 * In September, members of ISIL kill the Ahrar ash-Sham commander Abu Obeida Al-Binnishi, after he had intervened to protect a Malaysian Islamic charity; ISIL had mistaken its Malaysian flag for that of the United States.〔 Accessible via Google.〕 * Also in September, ISIL overran the town of Azaz, taking it from an FSA-affiliated rebel brigade. ISIL had attempted to kidnap a German doctor working in Azaz.〔(Al-Qaeda group and FSA declare truce as Turkey keeps Syria border gate closed ) ''Hürriyet Daily News'', 19 September 2013〕 In November 2013, ''Today's Zaman'', a newspaper in Turkey, reported that Turkish authorities had detailed information on ISIL's plans to carry out suicide bombings in Turkey. * From 30 September, several Turkish media websites reported that ISIL had accepted responsibility for the 11 May attack and had threatened further attacks on Turkey. * In December, there were reports of fighting between ISIL and the Sunni, Salafist rebel group, Ahrar ash-Sham, in the town of Maskanah, Aleppo. * In December, ISIL began an offensive in Al Anbar province in Iraq, changing the insurgency there into a regional war. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Timeline of ISIL related events」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
