The 2015 Battle of al-Hasakah started as an offensive launched in the Al-Hasakah Governorate during the Syrian Civil War, in which the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) attempted to capture the city of Al-Hasakah, which was divided into two areas held separately by the Syrian Armed Forces and the Kurdish People's Protection Units (YPG).[29] On 17 July, YPG-led forces captured all of the roads and villages surrounding Al-Hasakah, fully besieging the ISIL militants remaining inside of the city.[30][31] On 28 July, YPG forces and the Syrian Army expelled ISIL from most of Al-Hasakah,[8][6] with two ISIL pockets persisting near the Al-Zuhour District[32] and the southern entrance.[33] On 1 August, the city was fully cleared of ISIL fighters.[34][12][4]
