Syrian Army Captures 2 Villages in Al-Qamishli

The Syrian Arab Army (SAA) – backed by the National Defense Forces (NDF) – have captured 2 villages from the militants of the Islamic State of Iraq and Al-Sham (ISIS) in the Al-Qamishli District of the Al-Hasakah Governorate, continuing their success in this eastern province of Syria.

The villages of Tal Ghazaal and Abu Qusayb were declared under Syrian Government control after the SAA and NDF confronted a militant contingent in rural Al-Qamishli. The village of Tal Ghazaal was recently captured by ISIS during a brief offensive in Al-Qamishli; it is now ISIS-free.
