Civil war[]

Main article: Syrian Civil War

Following the Battle of Shaddadi in February 2013, in which the city of Al-Shaddadah came under the control of al-Nusra Front, the southern parts of Al-Hasakah Subdistrict also fell to Nusra. The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) took over from al-Nusra Front in the area, and pushed northwards up to the boundary of Hasakah city, culminating in the 2015 Battle of al-Hasakah.[2] ISIL were finally driven from the district in the Al-Shaddadi offensive (2016).

Kawkab military base[]

Surrounding Mount Kawkab (Arabic: تلة كوكب, at 36.536251°N, 40.858276°E) is the largest military base of the governorate, which has remained in the hands of the Syrian Army throughout the war.[3] ISIS attacked the base without success in July 2014 and October 2015.[4][5]
