According to the military spokesperson, al-Hashd al-Shaabi “confronted the biggest attack by ISIS against Qamishli, west of Mosul.” The troops “set more than six booby trapped motorbikes on fire, killing those on board.”
The spokesperson added that ISIS was attempting to escape toward Baaj.
Qamishli is considered a pivotal point between Tal Afar and Sinjar, as well as being one of the strategic towns that used to be a source of IS attacks against al-Hashd al-Shaabi west of Tal Afar.
