| 2015-11-17 | |
| [Rudaw] The US-led anti-ISIS coalition carried out a wave of air raids on ISIS military bases in Western Dijla, killing at least three members of the Lion of Islam organization, a statement by the Zeravani Peshmerga command announced on Sunday. "On Sunday around 6 pm the coalition targeted an ISIS vehicle in Tashe village in western Dijla, which led to the destruction of the vehicle and the death of three ISIS members," the statement said. It added the The western Dijla front is located west of djinn-infested Mosul ... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn... in Nineveh province, where Peshmerga and coalition warplanes have been targeting ISIS movements and positions. The attacks are part of plans to weaken the turbans ahead of an anticipated massive assault to free Mosul, which ISIS seized in June last year. As Peshmerga forces entered the town of Shingal on Friday, Kurdistan region Prime Minister Nechirvan Barzani congratulated the Yezidi people as well as the Peshmerga and coalition forces for the town's liberation from ISIS, hailing it as an important achievement for Kurdistan and the civilized world. Barzani also thanked the United States, adding "I express my utmost appreciation for the government and the people of the United States for their vital support to the Peshmerga during the Shingal liberation operation."
