The Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) stormed the ISIL positions in Hasaka province, killed or wounded several terrorists and captured one of the militants’ senior commanders.
Abu Khatab al-Khazakhi was captured in the SDF’s offensive in Kharaz in the Southern side of the newly-liberated town of al-Shadadi.
On Saturday, the town of al-Shadadi in Hasaka province was seized back by the Kurdish forces after they took full control of a large number of villages there.
The Kurdish forces are now in full control of al-Shadadi, informed Kurdish sources said.
On Friday, the Kurdish forces laid siege to al-Shadadi town.
“The Kurdish fighters captured ten villages, including Zahra Olia, Zahra Sofla and Um Hojra villages just three kilometers from al-Shadadi towns,” the sources said.
