Iraq War 2016 - Kurdish Special Forces & Militia In Heavy Urban Clashes During ISIS Attack On Kirkuk. While Iraqi and Kurdish forces supported by international coalition forces launched a major offensive in order to retake the city for Mosul from the Islamic State, ISIS itself launched an sudden attack on the Kurdish held city of Kirkuk. Heavy clashes and urban combat have been reported to have taken place there and the video footage you see here released by Kurdish news outlets shows Kurdish Special Forces and Milita in heavy clashes, fighting and firefights.

Clashes are still ongoing but it seems Kurdish forc...

An award-winning Israeli documentary by Itai Anghel about the war led by Kurds against Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL) in Syria and Iraq. Kurdish freedomfighters, both female and male, from YPG, YPJ, PKK and Peshmerga are the most successful and efficient warriors against the medieval terrorists from the so called Islamic State. Kurds want to set up a liberal, feminist and direct democratic state called Kurdistan, their traditional homeland, in the Middle East. But they are currently brutally opressed and prevented by either dictatorial states like Syria and Iraq or islamist like Turkey and Iran from fulfilling their dream.
A movie about the Iraq and iran war which played a big role in kurdish history.
A year after the Islamic State's lightning conquest of Iraq's second-largest city of Mosul, the poorly-trained and equipped Kurdish peshmerga forces are the international coalition's only reliable boots on the ground in northern Iraq. The Pentagon's hopes of recapturing the city by spring 2015 have been dashed by the military failures of the Iraqi Army further south, leaving the peshmerga to defend a 600-mile long frontline almost encircling Mosul, fending off constant Islamic State (IS) assaults with insufficient supplies of ammunition and modern weapons. For one month, VICE News embedded with the peshmerga fighters on the Mosul frontline, gaining an insight into the coalition's faltering war against IS through the eyes of the Kurdish volunteers bearing the brunt of the fighting.
