Peshmerga foil major ISIS assault west of Mosul, killing 100 militants

According to Peshmerga commander Zaim Ali, more than 400 militants launched an attack on several Peshmerga defense posts in the region that led to an intense confrontation lasting several hours. Peshmerga officials said today’s attack was one of ISIS’s biggest in a year. Coalition jets played an important role in helping the Peshmerga during the battle. “We killed 100 militants and all their bodies are left under Peshmerga control,” Majid Sindi, commander of the Zeravani forces west of the Tigris River told Rudaw.
