It took 1 month for ISIS to arrive in the city during that time nearly 200.000 civilians had already passed to Turkey. City was emptied. When October came, ISIS had enclosed the city in 3 sides from within 5km. Civilian war lasted for months resulted by the victory of YPG, with the aid of collision's air forces.
