35 ISIS bad Guys die in Hasakah fighting
2016-09-15
[ARA News] HASAKAH – Clashes broke out between Kurdish forces of the People’s Protection Units (YPG) and militants of the Islamic State (ISIS) in Syria’s northeastern Hasakah Governorate, military sources reported on Thursday.

At least 38 ISIS militants were killed and five more were arrested by the YPG after clashes near the Shaddadi City in the southern countryside of Hasakah.

“Daesh terrorists attacked our basis near Shaddadi by carrying out three car bomb attacks,” YPG fighter Hajar Osman told ARA News, using an Arabic acronym for ISIS.

“Then clashes broke out between our [YPG] forces and Daesh militants in the villages of Keshkesh and Zenat in Shaddadi suburb. We forced the group to withdraw after killing 38 terrorists and arresting five others,” the source said.

Also, nine YPG fighters were killed in the clashes, the Kurdish leadership said on Thursday.

The ISIS group reportedly withdrew towards its bases in Deir ez-Zor province, eastern Syria.

The YPG leadership said their forces have seized four ISIS vehicles and a large deal of ammunition from the group after the clashes.
