Violent fighting between the army and rebel militia in Syria

Damascus, Sep 20 (Prensa Latina) A soldier of the Syrian Army died today while fighting against members of the so-called People's Defense Forces in Hasakeh, head of the homonymous province, some 700 kilometers northeast of this capital.

According to local media, the commander of this armed formation, Abdul Qader Al-Hamu, announced a rebellion of the Armed Forces without knowing the reasons, which led the latter to launch operations to eliminate him.

The military commander of the army in Hasakeh, Major General Munzer Saad Ibrahim called on the armed men to surrender and give up their weapons, while reports confirmed that the leader of the militia was seriously wounded in the clashes.

Images disseminated on social networks showed the use of tanks and heavy machine guns by the uniformed who have already completely surrounded the headquarters of the gunmen.

On the other hand, there were reports of displacement of several families from the area of the clashes to safer areas.
