The whole truth is probably more fluid and multifaceted but these are some of the interesting claims I've seen on there.

1. Al Nusra a branch of Al Qaeda is embedded amongst the moderate rebels and were the main fighting force in Aleppo.

2. Allies Qatar and Saudi Arabia have been flooding Syria with weapons to anyone who will take them including radical groups. SA sees situation as opportunity to spread Wahhabism to the region.

3. Early on the coalition had been using a funneling strategy that involved bombing locations peripheral to ISIS with the goal of forcing them to move into civilian regime territory.
