Kurdish Pishmarga Forces Kill 30 ISIL Terrorists in Syria’s al-Qamishli
Kurdish Pishmarga forces killed around 30 members of the ISIL terrorist group in Syria’s Northern city of al-Qamishli, a monitoring group reported.
The Kurdish People’s Protection Units (YPG) succeeded in recapturing the village of Abu Qasayeb in the Tal Hamis area in Southeast al-Qamishli, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights told Xinhua.
The observatory said three YPG fighters also were killed in the operation to recapture the village, which was seized by the ISIL on Tuesday.
Syrian government’s troops and the YPG have recently been engaged in clashes with the ISIL in the predominantly Kurdish city of al-Qamishli as part of a broader conflict that has gripped Syria for about four years.
