Inside three kilometre-long ISIS terror tunnel where Islamists cowered from air strikes just 100 metres from Kurdish base
Inside three kilometre-long ISIS terror tunnel where Islamists cowered from air strikes just 100 metres from Kurdish base
Kurd soldiers fighting ISIS have uncovered a tunnel network dug out by the terror group just metres from their position.
Peshmerga (Kurd militia) soldiers discovered the three-kilometre long tunnel in the Kurdish Yazidi (a religious minority within the Kurdish community) city of Sinjar.
Kurdistan24 reporter Goran Shakhawan saw inside the tunnel, which Islamic State uses to hide from the international coalition air strikes and strike at the Peshmerga front lines.
The militants move through the tunnels to approach and escape from the front-line to reduce their casualties.
The tunnels run under streets and between houses, where the terror thugs take cover to fight their advancing enemy.
The Kurds are arguably the main threat to ISIS, having battled the murderous terror group since the Syrian conflict began in 2011.
The UK Government recently delivered around £1.4 million worth of machine gun and sniper ammunition to the Kurdish Peshmerga who are battling ISIS in the north of Iraq.
U.S.-backed forces trying to oust ISIS militants from the Syrian city of Manbij took "almost complete control" of the city on Saturday, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
The Syria Democratic Forces (SDF), which includes the powerful Kurdish YPG militia and Arab fighters, launched its campaign two months ago with the backing of U.S. special forces to drive Islamic State from a last stretch of the Syrian-Turkish frontier.
The official spokesman of the SDF-allied Manbij military council, Sharfan Darwish, told Reuters that battles were continuing but that around 90 percent of the city had now been cleared of the ultra hardline Sunni militants .
