HASAKAH, Syria (North Press) – On Monday, the city of Hasakah, northeast Syria, witnessed an uneasy calm a day after mutual shooting that took place between Syrian government forces and the Internal Security Forces (Asayish), killing a government member and wounding three others.
In a statement on Sunday, Asayish General Command held government officials in Hasakah responsible for the recent tensions that have been going on in the area.
