US drops arms upon Kurds in Kobani--ISIL devasted by Kurds
by Joseph Earnest October 20, 2014
Newscast Media WASHINGTON—The U.S. military said late Sunday that it had dropped weapons, ammunition, and medical supplies to Kurdish forces battling to hold the Syrian border town of Kobani against the so-called ISIL terrorists.
The airdrops were the first of their kind and followed weeks of U.S. and coalition airstrikes in and near Kobani. Earlier Sunday, U.S. Central Command (CentCom) said that it had launched 11 airstrikes overnight in the area.
CentCom said U.S. C-130 cargo planes made multiple drops of arms and supplies provided by Kurdish authorities in Iraq. It said they were intended to enable continued resistance to ISIL efforts to take full control of Kobani.
Meanwhile, on Monday, the Kurdish fighters in Ain al-Arab town (Kobani) dealt ISIL fighters a devastating blow that brought all the ISIL propaganda about its strength and bravery to an end.
The Syrian army has been able recently to score a series of military achievements against the takfiri groups in different Syrian regions especially Aleppo. Sources reported that the Syrian army controlled Al-Amusalamiyah village in northeast of Aleppo in light of the withdrawal of a large number of militants following the killing of dozens of them.
"The army units took control of Al-Jabaliyeh village, a cement factory and a strategic government building in the Northern parts of the Aleppo Central Prison after striking heavy blows on the positions of the militant groups there," informed military sources said. Add Comments>>
