| [ARA] At least 28 turban 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 Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... (ISIS) were killed during festivities with the Kurdish forces in the northeastern Syrian province of Hasakah, military sources reported on Saturday. ISIS Lions of Islam had attacked Kurdish headquarters near Mount Abdulaziz in Hasakah countryside on Friday. Kurdish fighters of the People's Protection Units (YPG) subsequently evacuated their centers in what they called a "strategic withdrawal". "On Saturday, the YPG forces besieged ISIS Lions of Islam near Mount Abdulaziz and killed dozens of Lions of Islam and destroyed several vehicles," a front man for the YPG Media Center told ARA News in Hasakah. "Our forces collected 28 corpses of the terrorists, but the number could be much more," the source said. "We have also seized a large deal of ammunition following the strategic operation." Also on Saturday, the Kurdish forces repelled an offensive by ISIS Lions of Islam in several villages in the western countryside of Hasakah, including Bdej, Ghara, Tel Hamam and Jafra. "The terrorist group has tried to attack western Hasakah from several sides, but our forces have been prepared and we have received large reinforcements from neighboring areas. Our brave YPG forces have successfully repelled the attack and forced the Lions of Islam of Daesh (ISIS) to withdraw from the area," the YPG front man said. The U.S.-led coalition's aircraft has provided air cover to the Kurdish forces during the festivities against ISIS. "The coalition conducted more than three strikes in the southern countryside of Hasakah on Saturday, bombing ISIS supply line near Shaddadi," media activist Muhammad al-Ahmed told ARA News in Hasakah. |
