The southern and eastern borders of an ISIS stronghold have been taken over by Peshmerga Kurdish fighters, in northeastern Syria, according to the OSDH.

According to the OSDH, the YPG (Kurdish forces) invaded Tal Hamis and took over parts of the city after six days of fighting against ISIS jihadists.

The area was under ISIS control for more than a year. Tal Hamis was considered one of ISIS’ most important strongholds in the area.
