| 2015-03-08 |
| [Iran Press TV] Kurdish fighters backed by local Assyrians have reportedly pushed Lions of Islam of the ISIL Takfiri ...an adherent of takfir wal hijra, an offshoot of Salafism that regards everybody who doesn't agree with them as apostates who must be killed... group back in northeastern Syria. On Saturday, the Britannia-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported fighting around the town of Tal Tamer, which it said was coming under ISIL artillery fire. Observatory director Rami Abdurrahman said the ISIL turbans initially made gains but the Kurds forced them back. The so-called Observatory said at least eight turbans and an unknown number of Kurds were killed. The Takfiris attacked a number of Christian villages in Syria's northeast on Saturday, triggering heavy fighting with Kurdish forces and their local allies. According to activists, the attacks, which started around dawn, hit at least three villages near Tal Tamer along the Khabur River in the Hasakah province. Osama Edwards, the director of the Sweden-based Assyrian Network for Human Rights, said the center of the festivities was villages on the northern bank of the river as the ISIL Lions of Islam are seeking to take the strategic town, some 35 kilometers (20 miles) from the city of Hasakah. The ISIL terror group kidnapped over 220 Christians from several villages near Tel Tamer last month. Terrorists have been trying to capture the town, which is the corridor to the eastern border of Iraq. |
