The ISIL had launched the attack on the village from three fronts, including one from the Zab River using two boats.
The Peshmerga claimed the ISIL dead included four alleged suicide attackers armed with explosives belts. The river boats used by the ISIL were also destroyed, the source said.
Four Peshemrga were also killed and five others were wounded in the clashes, the source added.
