IS strives to keep final positions in Hasakah
[ARA] Despite the decline of Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
group (IS/ISIS) in Hasakah, some remaining bully boyz still struggle to keep positions south of the city, local activists reported on Thursday.

IS turbans are stranded in the vicinity of az-Zuhour neighborhood and a number of government buildings near the Panorama roundabout in southern Hasakah.

This comes as festivities continue between Kurdish forces of the People's Protection Units (YPG) and IS krazed killers, coinciding with Arclight airstrikes and artillery bombardment by pro-regime forces on bully boyz strongholds in Hasakah.

Speaking to ARA News in Hasakah, media activist Raman Hassan reported that fierce festivities broke out near the IS-held Panorama roundabout on Thursday.

"Kurdish fighters are locked in fierce festivities with the radical group near Panorama roundabout and az-Zuhour neighborhood. Most of IS bully boyz were either killed or withdrew from the city of Hasakah, except a small group which is currently trying to find a way to escape before getting killed under the Kurdish fire," Hassan said.

According to a YPG source, the festivities continued until Thursday midnight.

"We won't stop our campaign before the entire city of Hasakah is liberated from the bandidos snuffies of IS," a YPG fighter told ARA News.
