Map of the situation during the
Battle of Al-Hasakah (June–August 2015)
, on July 3, 2015. On June 23, ISIL launched an assault on Al-Hasakah, its largest offensive on the city since September 2014. By late June 2015, ISIL had captured most of southern Al-Hasakah city from the Syrian Army, as well as the villages between the Kurdish-held
Abd al-Aziz Mountains
and the city, from Abyad to the south of Al-Harmalah. In early July 2015, the Kurdish YPG and the Assyrian
Syriac Military Council
joined the battle, with the US-led Coalition conducting numerous airstrikes in support of the YPG-led forces. On July 3, ISIL forces had advanced to the
Khabur River
in southwestern Al-Hasakah city, reaching the joint YPG and Syriac Military Council-controlled portion of Al-Hasakah. By then, ISIL had deployed over 4,500 militants into Al-Hasakah to take the city. By July 9, the YPG and its allies had recaptured most of the villages to the east of the Abd al-Aziz Mountains that the Syrian Army had lost to ISIL, and began severing ISIL's supply routes to Al-Hasakah.
