ISIS claims responsibility for the deadly attack in Makhmour

[Rudaw] The Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really 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 western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
group (ISIS) grabbed credit for the Thursday attack on Peshmerga forces in Erbil province’s Makhmour town which killed 13 Kurdish fighters and villagers without mentioning the attack on civilians.
The Liheban and Khidirjija villages in Qarachogh area were attacked late Thursday. When Peshmerga went to their aid, they were attacked too.
ISIS said in a statement published on its propaganda channel on Telegram that its fighters attacked Peshmerga in Khidirjija village with submachine guns and RPGs. It claimed to have killed 13 members of Peshmerga forces while Kurdish officials have put the number at 10. It seems that ISIS has counted the three villagers - brothers who resisted the attack on their village - as Peshmerga.
Three civilians and 18 Peshmerga fighters have been killed in the attacks conducted in recent days by ISIS bandidos gunnies in areas disputed by Erbil and Baghdad. The group has increased its attacks on Kurdish forces in these areas.
ISIS seized control of swaths of land in Iraq in 2014. It was declared territorially defeated in 2017 but continues to carry out bombings, hit-and-run attacks, and abductions across several provinces. It is especially active in parts of northern Iraq that are disputed by Erbil and Baghdad, including in the provinces of Kirkuk,
... a thick stew of Arabs, Turkmen, Kurds, and probably Antarcticans, all of them mutually hostile most of the time...
Diyala, Salahaddin, and Makhmour.
Sirwan Barzani, commander of Peshmerga forces in Makhmour, told Rudaw’s Rozhan Abubakir late Friday that the US-led global coalition against ISIS has decreased Arclight airstrike
 ...KABOOM! ...
s against the group "because the ISIS [ISIS] movement has changed. Now, their tactic is to carry out partisan war, and by the time the [war]planes arrive they will hide or go to into the caves and tunnels."
He added that attacks against the bandidos gunnies used to be be easier as they go out in small groups now. The commander also said that "we have information that imported muscle[of ISIS] are returning to Iraq from Syrian borders."
