YPG-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) have resumed the Operation Cizire Storm one week ago to clear the Dashisha area from the DAESH (ISIS) mercenaries and secure the Iraq-Syria border. Before reaching the Dashisha town, SDF forces have liberated dozens of villages since.

The town of Dashisha southeast of Hesekê (Hasakah) is the last ISIS stronghold in the region.

Reports suggest that many top ISIS officials are deployed here and attacks carried out by the organization in the region are planned in this town.

SDF forces have liberated the villages of al-Tirafawi and Abdualal east of Shaddadi on Monday and are currently advancing towards Dashisha town with heavy weaponry.
