2015-04-23
[AraNews] On Tuesday the Kurdish forces of the People's Protection Units (YPG) launched an extensive assault in the countryside of Sere Kaniye (Ras al-Ain) in an attempt to eradicate Lions of Islam 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....
(IS/ISIS) in the province of Hasakah, in northeastern Syria, military sources said.

Speaking to ARA News, A.B., a YPG fighter in Sere Kaniye's frontline said (under the condition of anonymity) that the Kurdish forces mobilized some 380 fighters into the anti-IS major frontline, aiming at breaking into IS-held positions and fortifications in the southern countryside of the city of Sere Kaniye in the province of Hasakah.

"While heavy battles continued between the two sides (YPG-IS) in western Sere Kaniye, the Kurdish forces, covered by the U.S.-led international coalition's warplanes, reported a fresh advancement in the western areas of the city," the source added.

"Several IS-held headquarters were hit with guided missiles by the coalition's warplanes, causing the death of a number of IS Death Eaters and the destruction of two armored vehicles," the source told ARA News.

The same source confirmed that the Kurdish units seized control of the al-Warat area after IS withdrawal, while the festivities continued until the early morning hours, coinciding with intensified raids by the international coalition's warplanes on the area of Abu Bakr and the surrounding villages in the western parts of in the town of Ameriya.

However,
if you can't be a good example, then you'll just have to be a horrible warning...
opposition activists reported that IS bandidos bully boys were able to regain control of al-Warat area in a few hours following the Kurdish control of it.

The YPG-IS festivities left dozens of dead and maimed in the ranks of the two parties where the radical group (IS) was able to pile the Kurdish fighters' corpses on the ground, while many Lions of Islam corpses were burned as a result of the U.S.-led coalition's warplanes in Hasakah province.
