U.S.-led intervention against ISIL

The Tell Tamer offensive refers to a military operation during 2015 in the Tell Tamer area, during the Syrian Civil War, conducted by Kurdish YPG and allied forces against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant.

The offensive

On 7 May 2015, Kurdish forces launched an offensive in the area of Tell Tamer to recapture territory they had previously lost to ISIL. Over the next two days, the YPG advanced in the Aalyah area, northwest of Tell Tamer, and elsewhere, while backed up by U.S.-led Coalition air-strikes.

On 10 May, the YPG advanced on the road between Tell Tamer and Aleppo. On 11 May, the YPG advanced in the al-Salihiyyi area.

YPG advances continued northwest of Tell Tamer on 12 May, and by 13 May, the Kurds captured the Alya area.

On 15 May, the YPG, backed up by the Syriac MFS and Khabour Guards, advanced in the Tal Hormoz area amid continuing fighting and an ISIL car-bomb attack. Two days later, the YPG captured parts of Tal Hormoz amid mutual bombardment by both sides and an ISIL suicide car-bomb attack, while clashes also took place around Razaza village where Coalition air-strikes took place.

On 18 May, the YPG-led forces captured two villages overlooking the road towards Mount Abdulaziz. The following day, they captured another three villages on the road towards the mountain as ISIL hit them with two suicide car-bombs. In all, between 17 and 19 May, the YPG captured about 20 villages.

On 20 May, the YPG and allied forces captured wide parts of the mountain. In addition, on 21 May, they seized the village of Aghaybesh, located on the road between Al-Qamishli and Aleppo.

On 21 May, Kurdish-led forces captured the Assyrian villages of Tal Shamira and Tal Nasri, as well as two other villages. Thus, they completed their two-week offensive successfully, recapturing Christian villages that ISIL took control of three months earlier and seizing Mount Abdulaziz.
