The Fight Against ISIS in Syria And Iraq - Kurdish Women Fighters Battle ISIS

From youtube description: A rare Israeli account inside Syria and Iraq about the fight against ISIS. Itai Anghel and Eddie Gerald spent two weeks on the front line to bring that account:- ISIS prisoners tell their philosophy that led them to beheading, burning, raping and killing everybody who is different from them.
- A journey with the Kurdish guerrilla in Iraq (PKK) and in Syria (YPG and YPJ) who are the only people who dare to confront ISIS on the ground. - The Kurdish women fighters who became the nightmare of ISIS.
