SHORT CUTS WEST KURDISTAN (SYRIA) : YPG Starts Battle to Control Girê Spî (Tel Ebyad)?
It seems after successes in Ras al-Ain (Serêkaniyê) and capturing Tel Halaf, the YPG will try to capture Girê Spî (Tel Ebyad). This would connect the Kurdish areas of Hasakah to Ain al-Arab (Kobani) which is isolated and unreachable from Hasakah (unless you smuggle yourself through the Turkish border).

Clashes broke out between the ISIS and the Shuhada’ Bader battalion in the outskirts of the al-Achrafiya neigbourhood, along with ISIS bombardment on the al-Sakan al-Shababi area in al-Achrafiya which fighters from the battalion are centralized in. Clashes led to the death of 2 young men and the injury of 1 child. The ISIS published a footage of Gold jewellery and house supplies yesterday which the ISIS stated that it confiscated from the Shuhada’ Bader battalion, accusing them of stealing civilian properties and money. Activists from al-Safira confirmed to the SOHR that the reports of al-Nusra, the ISIS and rebel fighters clashing with regular forces in the city are false and invalid.
