Syrian Kurdish-Arab alliance captures nearly 200 villages from IS

An alliance of Kurdish and Arab forces fighting the Islamic State group in northeast Syria has driven the jihadists out of nearly 200 villages, its spokesman told reporters on Monday.

Syrian Democratic Forces spokesman Talal Ali Sello said at a press conference that “between October 30 and November 13, an area of 1,362 square kilometres (545 square miles) was cleansed of IS”.

That area included 196 towns and villages, among them Al-Hol which lies along a strategic IS supply route and where Sello made his comments.

He said these “victories” had been achieved with air support from a US-led coalition striking IS targets in Syria over the past year.

Pretty amazing. This, if true, should be reported more.

These are our guys. There really needs to be a clarification, it seems some, many, think the US is not doing enough. Also, at times, it is not the better part of valor to be publicizing everything one is doing to fight ISIS since obviously, they fight back with terror.

If this newly established “Syrian Democratic Forces” which is who they are, actually did this, it is very impressive. 200 seems to high, I can buy 20 or 50 villages regained in the span of a few weeks. Very curious.
