YPG/YPJ and Asayish forces have been carrying out operations against ISIS gang members who had infiltrated into the town. Gang members were encircled in Mektel and Martyr Moro neighbourhoods as well as the Miştenur Hospital for two days. The gang members in Miştenur Hospital exploded themselves as they did not have any opportunity to escape anymore after the YPG/YPJ forces' operation this morning.
The resistance forces then extended their operation to Martyr Moro and Mektel neighbourhoods and cleansed the whole area of the gangs by 12:00 this noon.
It has been reported that out of the 70 gang members who had infiltrated into the town, 60 were killed during the operations. As cleaning and searching activities continue in the town centre, YPG/YPJ forces were deployed to the south of the town to expulse gang members from villages.
