SOHR: 18 SDF corpses found in Hasakah prison in NE Syria

“Kurdish-led forces in northeast Syria on Friday found the bodies of 18 fellow fighters inside a prison that the Islamic State group attacked last week,” the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) reported on its website on Friday.

The prison, in the town of Hasakah in northeastern Syria in an area under the control of the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), was attacked on Jan. 20 by Islamic State (ISIS) fighters.

The SDF announced on Wednesday that they had taken control of the prison but pockets in the northern part of the prison still remain out of their hands.

SOHR said that “the death toll since January 20 now stands at over 250, including around 180 IS jihadists, 73 members of Kurdish-led forces and seven civilians.” It added that clashes continue.
