IS said ousted from Syria’s Hasakeh
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleSyrian troops and Kurdish fighters ousted the Islamic State group from the northeastern city of Hasakeh on Tuesday after more than a month of fighting, a monitoring group says.
IS “was expelled by the army from Zuhur, the last district in which it was present in Hasakeh, and its fighters have been pushed to the southern outskirts of the city,” says Syrian Observatory for Human Rights director Rami Adel Rahman.
Control of Hasakeh is divided between Kurdish fighters and government troops, and both have battled to push IS out of the city since the jihadists entered last month.
