Kurd fighters cut off ISIL key supply road to Kobani
15 Nov MHB
Kurdish forces have reportedly cut off a key route which ISIL Takfiri
militants used to resupply their forces in the Syrian city of Kobani.
According to Idris Nassan, a local official in the flashpoint city,
Kurdish fighters with the assistance of Iraqi Peshmerga fighters, who
crossed into Kobani on October 31, managed to retake the strategic hill
of Mistanour and the road that runs along the side of the hill.
The victory on November 12 was achieved after weeks of violence in
the strategic city. Nassan praised the role of the Peshmerga forces in
the accomplishment, saying the Iraqi Kurdish forces had been targeting
ISIL positions on areas like Mistanour over the past week. "ISIS was
using this road for ammunition and fighters," Nassan said, using another
name for ISIL.He further noted that recent strikes on ISIL positions
halted to a large extent the Takfiri group's shelling of the city.
