Ghuwayran prison | ISIS cell holds a neighbourhood head and three civilians as hostages

Al-Hasakah province: SOHR sources have reported that an ISIS cell of at least four suicide bombers is holding the head of Kumin neighborhood and three civilians as hostages in a residential building on Aghwat Street in Ghuwayan neighbourhood of Al-Hasakah city, while anti-terrorism forces have surrounded the location.

SOHR reliable sources have just reported that clashes have been renewed in the vicinity of Ghuwayran prison in Al-Hasakah, between SDF and Asayish on the one hand, and ISIS members on the other.

This development comes after hours of cautious calm, as military forces have been conducting searches and inspections of neighbourhoods surrounding the prison.

According to Syrian Observatory sources, military forces have allowed some people to return to check their houses, having been displaced from them in the light of blazing events of Ghuwayiran prison.

This caution calm coincides with the refusal of the remaining ISIS fighters in the prison to surrender, as they have sworn to fight to the death. Meanwhile, military forces are besieging this group, but they have not launched any operations against the group that holed up in the basement so far, fearing the possible presence of cubs of the caliphate.
