Peshmerga retake Yezidi village near Shingal
[Rudaw] Peshmerga forces launched a blistering attack on 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.

near Mount Shingal and reportedly killed 30 turbans of the group, according to a Kurdish military source Sunday.

Major General Hashem Sitayi, the Peshmerga commander in Shingal, told Rudaw that following an intense fight on Sunday morning Peshmerga forces retook Gabara village to the west of Sinjar City.

He added that the Peshmerga destroyed four ISIS military vehicles and 30 ISIS corpses were strewn over the ground.

According to the source, Yezidi fighters who previously controlled the village had abandoned the village one night before and ISIS gunnies entered the village.
One hopes it was a deliberate enticement of the bad guys into the kill box (if that is the correct terminology).
On Tuesday Kurdish forces repelled another Islamic State attack on Shingal City and killed more than 25 of the group's Lion of Islams.
