At that time, SNHR warned of the catastrophic results that this highly-populated and poor area would endure.
On 15 September, 2014 ISIS forces focused its attacks on Ein Al-Arab “Koubani” area, which is under the control of the People’s Protection Units (YPG), which is affiliated with the Democratic Union Party’s (PYD). ISIS indiscriminately bombarded the areas using heavy artillery and mortar shells that targeted several towns and villages.
ISIS fighters attacked the Kurdish areas from three points (east, south, and west). On Friday, 19 September, 2014 the Kurdish forces were forced to withdraw from villages in eastern Ein Al-Arab (Sarzouri, Khan, Koubrlak, Ahmadyan, Danai, Sybqran, Qaz’li, and Jarn). These villages are located 45 km to the east of Ein Al-Arab. The residents of these villages were forced to flee to Ein Al-Arab city “Ain Al-Arab” which is located near the Syrian-Turkish borders.
Some of the residents told SNHR that ISIS fighters looted and burned the houses of the people who worked for YPG.
