The Kobanî Massacre was a combination of suicide missions and attacks on Kurdish civilians by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant on the Kurdish-held city of Kobanî, beginning on Thursday, 25 June, and culminating on Friday, 26 June 2015.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Pro-Kurdish party says Kobani ‘massacre’ reflects Turkish support for ISIL )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Islamic State kills at least 145 civilians in Syria's Kobani )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Kobani 'massacre' reflects Turkish support for ISIS: Pro-Kurd party )〕 The attacks continued into 28 June, with the last remaining ISIL militant being killed on the following day. The attacks resulted in 223–233 civilians dead, as well as 35–37 Kurdish militiamen〔 and at least 79 ISIL assailants.〔 It was the second-largest massacre committed by ISIL since it declared a caliphate in June 2014. ==Background== The People's Protection Units (YPG) captured Kobanî on 19 July 2012. Since July 2012, Kobanî has been under Kurdish control, while the YPG and Kurdish politicians anticipate autonomy for the area, which they consider part of Rojava.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=NATO’s Secret Kurdish War: Turkey Prepares Iraq-Style Attacks Inside Syria – OpEd – Eurasia Review )〕 After similar less intense events earlier in 2014, on 2 July the town and surrounding villages came under a massive attack from fighters of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. On 16 September, ISIL resumed its siege of Kobanî with a full-scale assault from the west and the south of the city. The Kobanî Canton was attacked by ISIL militants for several months. In September 2014, ISIL militants occupied most of Kobanî Canton, seizing more than 100 Kurdish villages.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Isis onslaught against Kurds in Syria brings ‘man-made disaster’ into Turkey )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=ISIL seizes 21 Kurdish villages in northern Syria, close in on Kobanî – World News Report )〕 As a consequence of the ISIL occupation, up to 200,000 Kurdish refugees fled from Kobanî Canton to Turkey.〔 In the captured villages, ISIL militants committed massacres and kidnapped women.〔 ISIL militants, however, were not able to occupy the entire canton, as the YPG and YPJ forces managed to defend the city of Kobanî and a few nearby settlements. After a few weeks of "neutrality", the US-led coalition began to target ISIL forces in Kobanî with a larger number of airstrikes, beginning on 5 October 2014. This move aided the YPG/YPJ in forcing ISIL to retreat from numerous parts of the city. The YPG reportedly forced ISIL to retreat from most of Kobanî on 26 January 2015,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Kurds drive Islamic State out of Syria's Kobani - The Times of Israel )〕 thus lifting the siege. On 27 January 2015, YPG-led fighters had retaken the entire city of Kobanî.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=U.S. general says Syrian town of Kobani taken from Islamic State )〕 Since then, the city was under YPG control. During May and June 2015, the YPG, FSA, and allied forces captured huge swaths of territory in northern Syria, taking territory across the western Al-Hasakah province and the Tell Abyad region, linking the Kurdish Jazira and Kobanî Cantons. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kobanî massacre」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
