40 jihadists killed as ISIS counteroffensive in Raqqa goes far from plan
[ALMASDARNEWS] On Tuesday, a large group of ISIS fighters posing as refugees managed to infiltrate the Kurdish-held village of Samra some three kilometers east of Raqqa city itself.Once the camouflaged ISIS Lions of Islam opened fire upon Kurdish checkpoints in the village, heavy firefights broke out between the warring parties after which the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) rushed reinforcements to the village. Despite skirmishes lasting several hours, the entire group of ISIS turbans was eventually annihilated and one of their boom-mobiles neutralized in the process. Footage of the incident can be found below: However, by candlelight every wench is handsome... as ISIS wrecked havoc inside Samra in an apparent suicide mission, the SDF sustained upwards of 40 casualties. Meanwhile, ...back at the shouting match, the spittle had reached unprecedented levels... fresh festivities erupted in the Mashlab, Sinaa and al-Nahdaa neighborhoods in the lovely provincial capital; new footage depicting ISIS’ side of events in the latter district can be found here: On the other hand, the SDF said it had too killed 40 enemy combattants amid festivities in Raqqa city and on its eastern outskirts, thus matching 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 Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... corpse count for Tuesday. Since the battle for Raqqa began on June 6, the SDF has captured approximately 90% of Raqqa city with major support from the US-led coalition. Posted by: Fred 2017-09-28 |
