[ARA] On Saturday, military sources reported that festivities broke out between the Kurdish joint forces (People's Protection Units "YPG", Peshmerga and FSA) and 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....

the U.S.-led international coalition's warplanes launched several raids on locations of the Islamic State group (IS/ISIS) in the eastern fighting front.

Speaking to ARA News on the phone, Noureddin Gaban, fighter in the ranks of the YPG, said that fierce festivities broke out and continued until Saturday evening in the vicinity of the village of al-Sunu and the Serrin's junction south of Kobane, after an IS-led attack to regain the areas seized by the joint forces.

Gaban confirmed the death of 15 bandidos bully boyz of the radical group during the festivities, adding that the joint forces seized quantities of weapons and ammunition.

The source added that sporadic festivities continued between the two parties since Friday in the vicinity of the village of Akbash, in southeastern Kobane, and pointed out that at least four IS hard boyz were killed during the festivities near Akbash.

In the meantime, field sources in the eastern front of Kobane's countryside reported that the U.S.-led international coalition's warplanes launched on Saturday afternoon several Arclight airstrikes against locations of the group in the vicinity of the village of al-Jirin (administratively linked to the city of Tel Abyad).

ARA News could not verify the exact numbers of casualties in the jihadists' ranks.

Noteworthy, the western front of Kobane has been almost completely quiet after the control of the joint forces on the town of al-Shuyoukh, and the IS bombing of the bridge linking the town with the city of Jarablus in the northern countryside of Aleppo on the Syrian-Turkish border.
