Syria: Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) say they have regained control of prison in Hasaka by Islamic State (IS) militants
The Syrian Democratic Forces say they’ve regained full control of al-Sina’a prison in Hasaka city after 500 Islamic State militants gave themselves up following clashes in some buildings.
The Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) regained full control of al-Sina’a prison in Syria’s northeastern city of Hasaka on Wednesday, spokesman Farhad Shami said in a tweet, a week after a breakout by Islamic State prisoners left dozens dead.
He said all remaining Islamic State militants had surrendered hours after 500 had given themselves up following clashes in some buildings.
There was no mention in the statement of the 850 children and minors caught in the crossfire when the SDF aided by US troops began to storm the prison on Monday.
