| [ALMASDARNEWS] The US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) continued their offensive against 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), Friday, seizing more ground along the Iraqi border. The Syrian Democratic Forces were able to seize more ground in southeast al-Hasakah after breaking through the Islamic State’s (ISIS) positions near the Iraqi border. According to pro-SDF media, their forces managed to capture the town of al-Zhibah after advancing from nearby Tal Safouk. As a result of this advance, the Syrian Democratic Forces were able to meet up with the Iraqi troops at the border of the Nineveh Governorate. This is a big blow to the Islamic State because the Tal Safouk area is where they first made their announcement that established their so-called ’caliphate’ (var. khalifah). In the video that was released in 2014, the Islamic State’s infamous commanders, Abu ’Uthman al-Leebi, ’Umar al-Shishani, and Abu Mohammad al-’Adnani, were filmed crossing from Iraq into Syria from the Tal Safouk Crossing. |
