YPG Press Office said that members of the People’s Defense Units (YPG), combined with combatants from the Women’s Defense Units (YPJ), launched a range of rescue operations last night in Aziziyah neighborhood and its eastern villages, Hasakah city, Jazira region, Rojava, Syria.

YPG said their forces who were able to corner a number of the ISIS gangs through an initial move, ultimately managed to rescue the vicinity and oust the attackers. Following the same actions, Defense Units could also liberate the villages of Maruf and Hamra in eastern Aziziyah, as well as stetting a secure perimeter within the locality by controlling a strategically located square and the Khazil Factory compound.

Consequent to successful performance of the operation, along with the villages to the east, the Azizya district was fully liberated from ISIS forces, as YPG/YPJ troops did retake an effective initiative for the region.

YPG Press Office added that more detailed information on this process will be shared once operationally possible.
