Siege of Qamishli and Hasakah

The siege of Qamishli and Hasakah was a siege laid upon Ba'athist Syrian government-controlled areas of the towns of Qamishli and Hasakah by the Asayish forces of the AANES. The siege was allegedly enacted in response to the restrictions of exclusively Syrian Democratic Forces-controlled areas of the Shahba region and the restriction of movement and supplies to the YPG-controlled neighborhoods of Sheikh Maqsoud and Ashrafieh in Aleppo by the Syrian government. The siege was mainly centered in the "Hasakah Security Box," and the neighborhoods of Halko and al-Tayy in Qamishli, preventing the entry of forces loyal to the Syrian government as well as supplies and fuel to the areas.
