Unlike the attacks before, this time the terrorists are said to have managed to get to the pilgrimage site´s immediate vicinity. Just a few meters separated the resistance fighters and ISIS terrorists. The Ezidi fighters immediately began to use rocket launchers against the terrorist militia´s armoured vehicles. Finally, they managed to halt the terrorists´ attempt to advance to the Ezidi sanctuary.
