ERBIL Kurdsitan Region – Peshmerga forces fought off a fierce four-pronged ISIS assault in Shingal on Friday with the help of coalition airstrikes. “The militants launched the assault at 9:30 last night,” Peshmerga commander Hasim Sitai told Rudaw. Sitai said the Peshmerga did not suffer any casualties in the hour-long battle. Sitai added that two prominent ISIS leaders, Abu Yaqub and Abu Omar, were killed along with several militants and some of the dead bodies were left behind. “We are making a solid plan to re-launch an assault on the ISIS in Shingal with the aim of driving them totally out of the area,” Sitai said.
