began attacking Dabiq in Syria

Syrian rebels, backed by Turkey, on Saturday the attack on Dabiq.

With the support of Turkish tanks and warplanes, the rebels had already moved up in recent days toward Dabiq where IS more than a thousand soldiers committed violent resistance. Dabiq is an important city for IS, as an apocalyptic prophecy states that there occurs the final battle between Muslims and infidels. The propaganda sheet IS therefore called Dabiq.
