And the Syrian Democratic Forces said in a statement obtained by Sky News Arabia: “The terrorist organization, and within the prison, brutally liquidated 77 prison and guard workers.”
The SDF statement indicated that the clashes and battles outside Ghweran prison, which lasted for seven days, resulted in the death of 40 fighters of the Kurdish forces, in addition to 4 citizens.
The statement confirmed that the total outcome of the prison break-in operation since its inception, included the deaths of 374 ISIS militants, and 121 Kurdish forces fighters and prison staff.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights had confirmed that the continued rise in the outcome of the battles is due to the Kurdish forces finding more bodies during “combing and search operations in the prison buildings and surrounding neighborhoods.”
The observatory indicated that “the outcome is not final,” attributing the matter to “the presence of dozens of bodies, most of them burned and mutilated.”
The outcome is likely to rise, according to the observatory, given that a number of Kurdish fighters were severely wounded in the battles.
On Sunday, the Kurdish-dominated SDF announced the end of its sweep operations in the vicinity of Ghweran prison.
A statement by these forces said, “We announce the end of the sweeping campaign in Al-Sina’a prison in the Ghweran neighborhood of Hasaka and the end of the last pockets in which ISIS mercenaries were holed up in the northern dormitories.”
