Kurds and Assyrian Militias Reverse ISIS Gains at Tal Tamer; 3 Villages Captured

ISIL offensive at Tal Tamer in western Al-Hasakah has resulted in a calamity of unfortunate events for their fighters, as the predominately Kurdish “People’s Protection Units” (YPG) has reversed much of ISIL’ initial gains.

On Sunday morning, the YPG regained control of three villages south of Tal Tamer after conducting a counter-attack on ISIS’ positions at this majority Assyrian populated area in the Al-Hasakah Governorate.

According to a source in the Al-Hasakah Governorate, the YPG and militiamen from the Assyrian “Suturo” group took control of Tal Jadiyah, Tal Fayad, and Al-Rakbat, killing dozens of ISIL militants in the process.
