[ARA] After battles with bully boy fighters of the 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), the Syrian regime military forces took over several villages and continued advancement in the countryside of Hasakah province, in northeastern Syria, local sources reported on Thursday.

Speaking to ARA News in Hasakah, civil rights activist Dilovan Mohammed said that fierce festivities broke out Wednesday evening between pro-Assad forces ‐backed by gunnies of the National Defense Army‐ and the IS group in the southern countryside of Hasakah.

"The pro-regime forces continued their advancement in the southern countryside amid remarkable IS decline under the weight of heavy shelling by regime's army, along with aerial bombardment launched by the U.S.-led international coalition on IS locations in western Abdulaziz Mount in Hasakah," Mohammed added.

At least one IS member was killed during festivities with regime forces near Bab al-Khair village south of Hasakah, amid news of several injuries in the ranks of the regime forces.

This coincided with battles between the People's Protection Units (YPG) and the IS radical group in the southern countryside of Qamishli (Qamishlo) city, in Hasakah province.

The YPG Media Center announced Wednesday that their fighters carried out a strategic operating near the villages of Masush and Gnamira (25 km south of Qamishli) and they were able to destroy an IS armored vehicle, killing its entire crew.

Noteworthy, the Syrian regime forces had seized 16 villages in the countryside of Qamishli and Hasakah cities, following fierce festivities with bully boyz of the Islamic State last Friday.
