Syria’s Kurdish fighters capture border crossing with Iraq

Share:

Yaaroubiyeh postA Syrian activist group says Kurdish gunmen have captured a crossing point on the Iraqi border after days of fighting with Muslim hard-liners.

The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights says Kurdish militiamen captured the Yaaroubiyeh post in northeast Syria on Saturday after three days of clashes with several jihadist groups there, including al-Qaida-linked factions Jabhat al-Nusra and the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant.

The capture of the border point came hours after Syrian TV claimed that the leader of the powerful Jabhat al-Nusra has been killed. Friday’s one-line report, which could not be immediately confirmed, said Abu Mohammad al-Golani died in the coastal province of Latakia.

Clashes between Kurdish fighters and jihadists in northern Syria have killed hundreds of people in the past months.

    Gotta hand it to the Kurds, they know what they want and have unity. (most of the time)

      i think the kurds deserve an independent country till they get a samir dgea3dgea3; at that point they will lose it all

        I agree, every unique ethnic group deserves its own or country or some level of autonomy
