On Saturday evening, the SAA – backed by the NDF – took control of the villages of Al-Siyyaha and Touq Al-Malah in west Al-Hasakah; this forced ISIS militants to retreat west towards the Ar-Raqqa border, where they were met with a series of airstrikes by the Syrian Arab Air Force (SAAF). According to a military source, 26 ISIS militants were killed and 12 others were captured by the SAA and NDF in both villages. Among the dead ISIS fighters were their field commanders, Abu Najeeb Al-Maghrebi (Moroccan) and Zayd Faisal Al-Malek.
