SULAIMANI — Syrian Democratic Forces
(SDF) said on Thursday (January 27) they discovered 60-90 armed men remaining
in the northern dormitories of al-Sinaa prison in Hasaka, one day after
regaining full control of the prison holding 3,500 Islamic State (ISIS)
members.
"Our forces uncovered camouflaged terrorist
enclaves in the prison’s northern dormitories where between 60 and 90 estimated
terrorists barricaded themselves and maintain a distance,” the SDF press center
said.
The SDF said their forces called for
the group to surrender and the situation is currently unclear.
Kurdish forces also announced they "dealt
with” an ISIS cell next to a security square in the north of Ghweiran
neighborhood in Hasaka, where the prison is located, and stated two of the ISIS
militants were killed.
Special Forces from SDF arrested three
ISIS members in the countryside east of Deir ez-Zor on Thursday, North Press
Agency reported. Internal Security Forces (ISF) arrested five others on
Wednesday in the countryside west of the city, on charges of providing funds
for ISIS.
The city of Hasaka is still under
curfew, according to North Press.
