ISIS claims responsibility for targeting SDF in Syria’s Hasakah
HASAKAH, Syria (North Press) – TheIslamic State (ISIS) claimed on Monday responsibility for targeting a military vehicle of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) in a town, south of Hasakah Governorate, northeast Syria.
The ISIS-run Amaq news agency said, in a statement, that its militants exploded an IED in a military vehicle of the SDF near the village of Jermez, south of Hasakah.
As a result, four fighters were wounded and the vehicle was damaged, the statement added.
A day earlier, ISIS claimed responsibility for two attacks against the SDF and the Iraqi army.
Since the beginning of this week, ISIS has claimed responsibility for several attacks in Iraq and against the SDF in Syria.
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 Baghouz in the eastern countryside of Deir ez-Zor, eastern Syria, bringing an end to the so-called caliphate declared by the terrorist ISIS.
After Baghouz, 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.
