Three killed in an ISIS attack in #Nineveh https://t.co/Y9KFmdF0bC

A security source reported that an ISIS attack on a Kurdish village in Nineveh resulted in several casualties.

The source told Shafaq News Agency that ISIS murderous Moslems stormed Khadarja village in Makhmour District.

The murderous Moslems killed three sons of the village's mayor before they fled, according to the source.

No further details were disclosed.

On second thought, I think the report below is of the same attack:

Ten Peshmerga, civilians killed in deadly ISIS attack in Makhmour

[Rudaw] Several Peshmerga fighters and three non-combatants were killed with others injured in another 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....
(ISIS) attack in Erbil’s Makhmour town late on Thursday night. The offensive comes as America’s combat mission in Iraq nears an end with the group’s activities having seen an increase in the country in recent weeks, especially in the disputed areas between Erbil and Baghdad.

Seven members of the Kurdish forces were killed in an ISIS ambush when the terror group attacked Liheban and Khidirjija villages in Qarachogh area, the Ministry of Peshmerga said in a statement on Friday.

Several others have been injured, the ministry added.

In this most recent attack on Qarachogh, ISIS also clashed with civilians, killing three brothers with the youngest only 11 years old.

"My brother informed us and said come out, ISIS [Arabic acronym for ISIS] has surrounded the house," Kazim Ismael, one of the brothers of the killed, told Rudaw’s Halabja Sadoon following the attack. "We fought with all the strength we had, we resisted but unfortunately they were martyred."

The mother of the three sons killed in their confrontation with ISIS called on the leader of the Kurdistan Region ruling party Masoud Barzani to look into the situation as they were attacked in their own home.

"My son was eleven, the other was 18 and one was 24. He is married, he has a wife and a daughter," Bayan Osman told Rudaw, adding that she is ready to sacrifice the life of the rest of her sons for the Kurdistan Region.

On Sunday, ISIS grabbed credit for a deadly attack on the Peshmerga in Diyala. Earlier in November, it also grabbed credit for a late October attack in which two Peshmerga were killed on the Erbil-Kirkuk border. A few days later, the Peshmerga prevented another attack in the same area.

ISIS also attacked Peshmerga forces on the Kifri-Garmaser border between Sulaimani and Diyala provinces earlier this month.

The gap between Peshmerga and Iraqi forces is up to 40 kilometers wide in parts. "ISIS has been able to exploit the lack of coordination between forces to operate in the ungoverned territory," the Pentagon stated in its latest report on anti-ISIS operations.

Secretary-General of the Ministry of Peshmerga Jabar Yawar on Monday told Rudaw that the recent ISIS attacks are originating from areas controlled by Iraqi forces.

"I can say that whenever ISIS attacks Peshmerga forces, they come from areas controlled by Iraqi forces, and after they are done, they return to those areas," Yawar said.
