[European Knight]

Islamic State militants in Syria stormed government-held neighborhoods in the predominantly Kurdish northeastern city of Hassakeh on Thursday morning, capturing several areas of the city, officials and state media said.

The attack came after the Islamic State group suffered several setbacks in northern Syria against Kurdish forces over the past weeks. The city of Hassakeh is divided between Bashar Assad's forces and Kurdish fighters.

Redur Khalil, a spokesman for the Kurdish People's Protection Units, or YPG, said Islamic State militants attacked government-held neighborhoods on the southern edge of Hassakeh and captured some areas.

Syrian state TV reported intense clashes inside Hassakeh's southern neighborhood of Nashawi. According to the report, Islamic State fighters killed several people they captured in the city, including the head of a military housing institution.

It said the militants sustained many casualties, including the commander of the group, who is a foreign fighter.

I'm honestly not surprised since this kind of shit has been going on for years now. The real question is; who is going to win this fight in the future?

ISIS attack on Kobani again and again through the Turkish border. Two car bombs went off in a village and ISIS execute 20 Kurdish villagers.

This time Turkish soldiers were caught(Turkish special forces and MIT agents were caught in the past too but disguised as ISIS)


How many times has the Turkish government actually called "YPG a bigger threat than ISIS". Who is still doubting that Turkey is aiding those guys?

ISIS launched the attack through Jarablus side, west of Kobani. They didn't cross the Turkish border. Pkk should stop blaming Turkey for its failures.

Turkey has already failed, we're just pointing out who the main perpetrators are ... in this case Turkey.

Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Turkey must cooperate together, This war

would never end without direct foreign intervention

Alawites should be protected against Sunni Muslims

Turkey should invade Northern Syria completely from ISIS, Essad and Kurds and should

create a buffer zone for civilian people

Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Turkey must cooperate together, This war

would never end without direct foreign intervention

Essad should be deported from Syria and Alawites should be protected against Sunni

Muslims

I'd like to see that happen

They should just immediately disassemble all fake countries created by British, French and Italian colonial authorities, all North African and Middle Eastern countries should immediately have a territorial reorganisation to even out the ethnic and religious differences of each of the areas, but I know that's not going to happen without war.
