Fierce Clashes For Prison In Syria’s Hasakah Continue (Videos)
On January 25, clashes between Kurdish fighters from the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) and ISIS members continue in the Syrian province of al-Hasakah.
On the morning of January 24, the Kurds issued an ultimatum to ISIS to surrender. After the terrorists refused, the SDF fighters tried to storm the prison.
Despite the SDF claims spread by the media loyal to US-led forces, the assault failed. Only one building was captured, and civilian settlements in nearby areas were still under ISIS control.
These settlements were struck by the U.S. warplanes on January 24. Servicemen of the U.S. special forces are also taking part in the assault, according to the footage from the area.
The SDF announced the surrender of 250 more ISIS members on January 25, bringing the total number of surrenders in al-Sina’a Prison in Syria’s Hasakah to 550 members.
The death toll from clashes has risen to 166, including 114 from ISIS, according to the London-based SOHR.
