The Operation Cizire Storm relaunched by Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) recently to clear southern countryside of Hesekê (Hasakah) of ISIS mercenaries continues with further advances.

As part of the campaign, SDF fighters have liberated 12 villages and several hamlets so far. Fighters advancing on the western axis have liberated the Derwish and Amiriyah villages following fierce clashes with ISIS last night.

Villagers of the Derwish village welcomed the SDF fighters with great enthusiasm and expressed their joy over the liberation of their village, around which clashes are ongoing.
