Damascus – IS terrorists attacked a prison in the Hasakah province of Syria. 84 people were killed in the attack and the subsequent conflicts. Many IS terrorists have escaped from the prison, giving rise to the possibility of more such attacks in Syria. Iraq, as a precautionary measure, has closed its border with Syria. For the last three days, conflicts have been reported between the IS terrorists and Kurds in the Hasakah province, the northeast part of Syria. There were attempts by IS terrorists to attack the jails in control of the Kurds. Finally, on Saturday, IS terrorists succeeded in the attack, which killed 54 IS terrorists and 27 members of the Kurdish gang.

IS terrorists attacked in large numbers and used massive ammunition to finally breach the security of the Ghuwayran prison in the Hasakah province. More than 3,500 IS terrorists were captive in prison before the attack. However, it is claimed that many terrorists have escaped prison during the attack. Some of these terrorists escaped with weapons from the Ghuwayran prison, including senior IS commanders. The Kurdish gangs have claimed to have arrested most of the escaped terrorists, but many of the terrorists are reported to have escaped.

Civilians from Ghuwayran regions are reported to have begun to move to secure locations after the attack. An atmosphere of terror has been created once again due to the attack and the IS terrorists escaping the prison. Since the IS base in Syria were destroyed in 2019, the terror activities were limited to a great extent.

IS terrorists had carried out attacks on the Syrian military, oil projects, and Kurdish gangs. However, none of them was as intense as the latest one in prison in Hasakah for the release of their colleagues. Hence this could be considered the biggest attack in Syria by IS terrorists in the last three years. The Middle East media are claiming the possibility of more such attacks in Syria. Neighbouring countries recognise the danger of the terrorists who have escaped the prison to enter their countries illegally. Iraq has closed its border with Syria. Despite this, Iraq is grappled with the fear that IS terrorists may launch terror attacks in their country as well.

Meanwhile, amid reports of conflict between the Kurdish gangs and the IS terrorists, it has been reported that the United States and Turkey have launched airstrikes in the Raqqa province in north-western Syria. The Syrian government has accused the United States of targeting civilian settlements in the Raqqa province. Whereas Turkey launched airstrikes on the areas under Kurdish control, claiming to have killed five Kurds.
