[ARA] The U.S.-led international coalition's warplanes renewed attacks Saturday on targets 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.

group (IS/ISIS) in the vicinity of Tel Temir in Hasakah province, northeastern Syria, local sources reported.

Speaking to ARA News in Tel Temir, civil rights activist Hozan Aziz said that after two weeks of suspension in the area, the coalition's warplanes renewed their raids against IS locations near the town of Tel Temir.

"The Arclight airstrikes targeted al-Raqba village near Tel Temir town and some other sites in the vicinity of the town, after IS control of the villages with Assyrian majority about a month ago," Aziz quoted Kurdish fighters as saying.

Similar strikes were recorded on the hardline group's strongholds in the countryside of Sere Kaniye (Ras al-Ain) after one week of intensive battles between the Kurdish forces of the People's Protection Units (YPG) and IS snuffies west of Sere Kaniye city.

Kurdish military sources reported that the U.S.-led international coalition's warplanes suspended air strikes against IS targets in the vicinity of the town of Tel Temir (50 west of Hasakah) and Sere Kaniye since the beginning of March 2015.
