27 Afghan Soldiers Killed In Two Large Attacks Of Taliban

Taliban fighters during “Operation al-Khandagh”

On July 13, Taliban fighters captured a military base and a checkpoint of the Afghan National Army (ANA) and the Afghan National Police (ANP) in the district of Shindand in the western province of Herat following a rapid ground attack, according to the Taliban news agency Voice of Jihad.

The Taliban claimed that its fighters killed 18 personnel of the ANA and the ANP during the attack. Several heavy and light weapons were also captured by the fighters of the Afghan movement.

In the southern province of Helmand, Taliban fighters captured three checkpoints in the area of Tangano Zabar in the district of Nawa following heavy clashes with the ANA and the ANP. The Voice of Jihad reported that Taliban fighters killed 9 personnel of the ANA during the clashes, including an officer named “Habibullah.”

According to the Taliban, the two attacks in Herat and Helmand are a part of its spring offensive, codenamed “Operation al-Khandagh”, which was launched on April 25, in response to Washington’s decision to increase the US military presence in Afghanistan.

The Taliban has stepped up its military operations against the ANA and the ANP in the southern and western parts of the country since the end of the Eid ceasefire last month. The ceasefire was likely a chance for the Afghan group to reorganize and rearm its fighters.

The Taliban seem to be taking Afghanistan back from the American invaders.

Christos MK

And the Taliban are not part of the “American invaders”?

Brother Ma

Well said. When the Americans were paying the Taliban to oust the Russians and the Afghan legit government they were pals. Now that the Taliban have turned rogue the Yanks dont like them. Funny that! Saddam Hussein was a pal of the Americans as was osama bin Laden.They then turned rogue and now are not pals with the US. Boo hoo America!

Christos MK

Sectarian ideologies like socialism (class sectarianism), extreme nationalism (ethnic sectarianism) and salafism (religious sectarianism) are promoted by the Anglo-American deep state. Look how they have funded Zionists (ethnic nationalists), Ba’athists (Saddam and Assad were both deep state Fabian Society puppets but they turned on them when they were no longer useful) and Salafists (Hamas, HTS, ISIS) in order to cleanse the Levant of the original Aramaic-Assyrian-Israelite-Phoenician inhabitants. The same shit is being done in Afghanistan.

Brother Ma

Also to get rid of the original inhabitants of the Middle East; Orthodox and Assyrian Christians. Huntingdon’s “Clash of Civilisations”Book. Mentions that the AngloAmerican DeepState want Protestanstism to win after getting rid of Catholicism and Orthodoxy. The latter is simply “Russian”and therefore dangerous!

Christos MK

I agree 100%. Babylon the great in the book of apocalypse is the US-UK deep state and Gog Magog are the Khazarian pseudo-Jews and the army of the antichrist are the various Salafi jihadi organizations.

You can call me Al

Not now.

US is “fighting” Taliban in the same way they were fighting ISIS in Syria and Iraq i.e. before Russia came in Syria, US was fighting ISIS but ISIS territory was increasing. Same happens in Afganistan.

Christos MK

US is “fighting” terrorism by funding terrorists. HTS, PKK, UCK, VMRO are some terrorist organizations they have supported.

You can call me Al

I think you may find that Turkey funds HTS. I obviously know the PKK but I unfortunately dont know the other two.

Christos MK

Well, HTS was against both the Euphrates Shield and the Afrin operations. HTS are Salafists that hate Turks because they think that they are infidels.

You can call me Al

We must agree to disagree then.

Christos MK

Oh come on, Taliban is the Afghan faction of Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham.

You can call me Al

OK, if that is what you believe. In my view, they are the Afghani tribes uniting against the invader AGAIN.

I would add that it would not surprise me, if the US isn’t paying them to fight them so that they can still sell arms.

ISIS and AQ are also in there.

Christos MK

And HTS are also “Syrian tribes” fighting against the supposed “Nusayris”. Taliban and ISIS are both Salafi jihadi factions.

potcracker2588

is that being just plain stupid or on crack cocaine?

potcracker2588

seems like there is a BIG confusion on who and what the so called taliban represent..with some goin even so far writing nonsense..eg. taliban are american forces or Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham.

Lets start with the nonsense….Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham???christos mk wrote that nonsense………

Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham was created in 2017 by Liwa al-Haqq, Dschaisch as-Sunna, Dschabhat Ansar ad-Din, Harakat Nour al-Din al-Zenki and Dschabhat Fatah asch-Scham.

Taliban……are the creation of the pashtun tribes in afghanistan and pakistan….their believes, rights, rules come from the PASHTUNWALI….an ancient ethical code and traditional social cultural living guideline.

They have been fighting invading forces for 1800 years including the british. here is some history lesson, its really evil and people even today 2018 are toooooo fuckin stupid to catch the drift. In Europe there are several BIG international world cup skiing events.They all have one thing in common.They are named Kandahar.Kandahar world cup downhill in Garmisch pten kirchen germany or Kandahar world cup in st. anton austria or Kandahar world cup in carns montana in switzerland etc… WHY KANDAHAR i though to myself a good 20 years ago…is´nt that a city in afghanistan?why kandahar………well here is the history.. FREDERICKS ROBERTS 1 EARL ROBERTS 1832-1914 well he was soooo good at murdering the pashtun tribes in afghanstan in 1878-1881,he became the EARL of Kandahar, freddie was a passionate skier, he even sponsored the trophy for the first winner of the international world cup ski race in crans montana in 1911…hence and because of his great achievements of rape and murder of afghanis they named to honour his great achievenments several hills used for the world cup skiing events even today 2018 Kandahar….

sick and evil truly
