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