The Sinjar massacre was the killing of 2,000〔–5,000〔 Yazidi men in Sinjar ((クルド語:شنگال) ''Şingal'') city and Sinjar District in Iraq's Nineveh Governorate by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) in August 2014. This event started with ISIL’s attacking and capturing Sinjar and neighboring towns on 3 August, during ISIL's offensive in early August 2014. A member of the Iraqi Kurdistan Regional Government estimated that ISIL’s 3 August campaign against Sinjar was more about demography and strategy than about religion: ISIL wanted to push most of the Kurds out of this strategic Yazidi areas and bring in Arabs, obedient to ISIL, he contends.〔(‘Kurdish official: ISIS Capture of Shingal 'was part of Arabization campaign'’ ). Rudaw.net, 29 December 2014. Retrieved 4 August 2015.〕 On 8 August 2014 the United States reacted with airstrikes on ISIL units and convoys in northern Iraq, which led to a war of several countries against ISIL. Assistance of Kurds and Americans enabled the majority of 50,000 Yazidis who fled into the Sinjar Mountains to be evacuated. On 17 December 2014 the Kurdish Peshmerga, PKK and YPG forces with the support of the US airstrikes started the December 2014 Sinjar offensive. ==Background== (詳細はYazidis before the ISIL takeover.
