Kurdish militias with support from airstrikes by the US-led coalition have killed at least 132 Daesh militants since Saturday in the northeastern Syrian province of Hasaka, reports Reuters.
The Kurdish YPG fighters reclaimed 70 villages in the offensive, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
Daesh seized of large swathes of land in both Iraq and Syria since rising to power. However, efforts by the Kurdish militias and the US-led coalition have liberated much of this land from Daesh control.
The city of Kobani was recently freed from Daesh control by Kuridsh fighters after a long and deadly battle.
US Secretary of State John Kerry announced that approximately 30 percent of Iraqi territory seized by Daesh had been restored to Iraqi hands.
A US military spokesperson also recently announced that over 8,500 Daesh militants had been killed in airstrikes by the US-led coalition.
