Over 120 Killed After ISIS Mass Prison Break In US-Occupied Northeast Syri, 140+ as of Monday
|
[ZeroHedge] At least 120 people have been killed in clashes between ISIS and the US-backed Kurdish SDF in northeast Syria, Al Jazeera reported Sunday.
The clashes are still ongoing and were touched off Thursday night by an ISIS attack on a prison in Hasakeh, Syria. The SDF initially said they thwarted the prison break but later said some inmates took over parts of the prison.
The fight for Sina’a Prison continued Monday
[Rudaw] The corpse count since last week’s operation has exceeded 150, including seven civilians as reported by the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitor which claimed on Monday that 102 ISIS fighters had been killed alongside 45 prison guards, Asayish, and counter-terrorism forces.
The US-backed Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) on Sunday claimed higher figures. Citing the confessions of those re-arrested to claim that "more than 200 suicide terrorists" were involved in the attack, it reported the deaths of over 175 terrorists.
The head of the SDF's media office Farhad Shami said on Monday that operations were underway as planned, and over 300 "terrorist mutineers" who took part in the prison riot have surrendered to the force.
In a separate statement on Monday, the force reported that another fighter was killed in the day’s clash, bringing their total figure of SDF members killed in the response to the attack on the prison, also known as al-Sina’a, to 28. Operations are continuing to comb Ghweran neighbourhood in the pursuit of terrorist cells.
The Kurdish administration in northeast Syria (Rojava) has imposed a week-long curfew in Hasaka, starting on Monday, as their forces continue their attempt to quash a riot now into its fifth day inside a detention facility housing hundreds of hardcore Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
(ISIS) bad boys, as well as children claimed to be affiliated with the group. The curfew comes as a new video emerges from inside the detention facility, published on ISIS’ Telegram channel, showing dozens of armed ISIS fighters within the prison pledging to fight to the end.
According to a statement issued on Sunday by the SDF General Command regarding the attack on al-Sina’a prison, while the prison "is under our forces’ control," the statement said, the SDF are continuing operations in the surrounding area due to the existence of "two or three terrorist cells" within the Ghweran neighborhood. "Our forces are working to impose their control inside the prison as well," it added.
The Kurdish administration in northeast Syria announced on Sunday that they have imposed a total ban on movement within the Hasaka province following the attack on the prison in the city. The authorities said that the ban did not impact municipality services, bakeries, fuel stations and health centers. Kurdish authorities have also tightened security in other areas, including in the city of Qamishli, to counter any possible attempt by ISIS to cause instability in the area.
Letta Tayler of Human Rights Watch (HRW) shared in a series of tweets on Sunday that the organization had received an audio message from a terrified child inside the al-Sina’a prison, who said the building - and those in it - were "getting hit from every side".
"There’s a lot of people dead, a lot of people injured... please help," the child pleaded.
Desperate requests from these children come as a new video, dated Sunday, depicts what appear to be adult murderous Moslems inside the prison preparing to fight to the end. A man stands in the middle of a packed room as he uses religious language, spoken in Arabic, to encourage those around him to pledge to fight to the end. When he calls on the men, they hold out their hands and chant in unison, "We pledge to die." In the next scene, men are seen breaking down a wall, as they exit the room through the gap. Most are wearing orange bandanas.
ISIS has released a number of videos from inside the prison, including one that showed around two dozen men - mostly Arabs - detained inside the facility. Kurdish authorities have said that those shown were cooks working in the prison kitchen. There appears to have been a backlash against the jihadists amongst the Sunni Arab tribes from the Hasaka and Deir ez-Zor governorates, where many of the men detained come from.
ISIS operatives and supporters said on Monday that the battle inside the prison is intensifying. One member posted a photo on social media saying that the lions of Baghouz will free their brethren in prison.
Baghouz is a reference to the final battle between the Kurdish-led SDF and ISIS in early 2019, where the jihadists were defeated. Most were either killed or captured; some of those detained were taken to al-Sina’a prison where the fighting continues.
