SINJAR, Iraq, Safar 1, 1437, Nov 13, 2015, SPA -- Iraqi Kurdish militia are preparing to push their large-scale military operation into the center of Sinjar, the strategic mountain town in northern Iraq currently in the hands of the terrorist ISIS group, AP cited Iraqi Kurdish officials as saying. Nouri Said, the commander of a Yezidi unit of the Kurds' peshmerga forces, says the forces will "remove the barriers along the front line" and move into the town. Diar Namo, deputy commander of the unit, says they saw more than 50 terrorist militants flee the town late Thursday as Kurdish forces ramped up their attack. Kurdish fighters launched their operation, dubbed Operation Free Sinjar, on Thursday and said they managed to sever one of the terrorist ISIS group's most strategic supply lines. --SPA 10:57 LOCAL TIME 07:57 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
