I will take your word for it as I do not read Arabic

It is really excellent news whatever language it comes in

I hope that this time the land will be cleared of ISIS for good and remain protected until the last ISIS member has been removed from Iraq

May the Yazidis NEVER be allowed to suffer again

Yazidis are the living history of the Kurds and they deserve a great deal of
respect and admiration for all that they have been through over the centuries

Really I am feeling some doubts. The news was from nahrain.com, which got it from another news source. Nothing more has been said on Nahrain.com and have not found any news about that from other news sources. In Zomar the operatin was disclosed only after ISIS defeated completely and Zomar liberated. The same thing could happen in Shengal.

I tried to find something else myself but no luck

I just hope and pray the Yazidis will be alright

Iraq Peshmerga Kurds launch operation to free Sinjar

Iraqi Kurdish fighters, aka Peshmerga, have launched a major offensive to recapture the northern town of Sinjar from ISIL Takfiri terrorists.

"The Peshmerga launched today (Saturday) an attack from different directions to liberate Sinjar from the (ISIL) organization and are making an advance," a Kurdish official said on condition of anonymity.

The Kurdish forces targeted a number of militant positions with heavy weapons, inflicting casualties on ISIL militants, he added.

In August, the ISIL seized Sinjar, near the Syrian border, from the Peshmerga, and forced an exodus of its mostly Izadi Kurdish inhabitants.

The Takfiri militants also executed dozens of residents following the takeover of the town.

Nearly 60 percent of Sinjar is currently seized by the ISIL terrorists who are capable of brining reinforcements from their bases in northern Syria.

The development comes a day after a contingent of Peshmerga fighters reportedly entered the northern Syrian border city of Kobani to join the fight against the ISIL.

On Friday, Iraqi soldiers, backed by volunteer forces, liberated two areas in the northern strategic oil town of Baiji from the ISIL.

Iraqi army soldiers have been fighting the ISIL terrorists for nearly six months now.
