The Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) Press Center shared footage on its website showing militias affiliated with the Syrian Interim Government and supported by the Turkish state release ISIS members from the Shaddadi Prison in southern Hesekê, where thousands of ISIS members are being held.
In a statement earlier today, the SDF reported that al-Shaddadi Prison, which holds thousands of detainees from the terrorist organization ISIS, had been subjected to repeated attacks carried out by factions affiliated with Damascus, since the early hours of this morning.
According to the statement, fighters of the Syrian Democratic Forces confronted these attacks and succeeded in repelling them several times, resulting in the martyrdom of dozens of their fighters and the injury of others, in an effort to prevent a serious security catastrophe.
“Although al-Shaddadi Prison is located approximately two kilometers from the International Coalition base in the area, the base did not intervene, despite repeated calls for intervention,” the statement noted.
SDF reported that Al-Shaddadi Prison had fallen outside the control of their forces as a result of these developments.
