ISIS claims responsibility for injuring SDF fighters in Syria’s Hasakah
DEIR EZ-ZOR, Syria (North Press) – Islamic State (ISIS) claimed on Sunday responsibility for targeting a checkpoint of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) in the town of Maesara, south of Hasakah Governorate, northeast Syria.
ISIS-linked Amaq news agency said in a statement that the attack resulted in the injury of a number of SDF fighters who were at the checkpoint.
Two days ago, ISIS revealed the toll of the attacks it claims to have conducted in the past week in Syria, Iraq and several regions in Asia and Africa.
ISIS lost its final stronghold in Syria in March 2019. The SDF, with the support of the US-led Global Coalition, defeated ISIS after fierce battles in the town of Baghuz in the eastern countryside of Deir ez-Zor Governorate, eastern Syria, bringing an end to the so-called caliphate declared by the terrorist ISIS.
After Baghuz, thousands of ISIS militants were transferred to prisons, while their families were transferred to Hawl and Roj camps in the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (AANES)-held areas.
