Kurdish forces constricts blockade on gov’t areas in N. Syria

A local war monitor reported on Wednesday that the Kurdish Assayish security force further tightened up the blockade on government-controlled zones in Syria’s northeastern province of Hasakah.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said in a statement that many families living in regions on the war zone between Kurdish-controlled areas and government ones have evacuated themselves away from their homes, dreading more escalation in that part of the state.

For its part, the UK-based watchdog group said that the Assayish is only allowing civilians to get in and out of the government security zone in Hasakah on foot as the Assayish has cut off all the roads connecting the Kurdish-controlled areas with the government security zone.

The Kurdish security force is also preventing the entry of food and fuel to government areas in Hasakah, imposing fines on the violators.
