A Yazidi Militia group has clashed with Islamic State (IS) Militants near Sinjar in Northern Iraq and has killed 24 Jihadi militants.
Khudida Kicho, a member of the Yazidi Militia Group, said in a press conference in Erbil, Iraqi Kurdistan that Yazidi gunmen have attacked IS insurgents near Sinjar resulting in the deaths of scores of extremist insurgents.
“In the Kahbel area near Sinjar our fighters were able to attack IS Militants and kill 24 of them,” said Kicho.
He said that alongside the deaths they have destroyed three Humvees that were left in the area by IS insurgents.
“In the clashes three of our fighters were killed as well, but we will continue to fight terrorists until the end,” added Kicho.
The Yazidi Militia Group was formed after IS militants captured Sinjar earlier this month. Their initial aim was to protect Yazidi refugees on Sinjar mountain.

Good job but I would have kept the Humvees.

Me too, if I could support them with fuel, maintenance, drivers, and if restricting operations to hummvee compatible paths in the mountains made sense, and if the US military wasn’t overhead targeting ISIS captured American hardware...

Yep. That’s why “they” want us disarmed.

" if I could support them with fuel, maintenance, drivers.." The Peshmerga have Humvees. They could of handed them over.

True, and like you, I would have snapped up the ‘gift’ of three Humvees in a heartbeat.
Bu we don’t have the ground truth the Yazidi had. Local and immediate conditions may have made destroying them on the spot the best of a set of poor options.

Anyone wants to bet that Yazidi fighters will NOT take prisoners?

Perhaps the 3 Hummers were full ISIS brigands.

I suspect these fellows are not interested in taking prisoners. Not until after they work on them with a pair of pliers and a blow torch. Got to have intel.
