About 300 personnel entered the city and positioned themselves at the Al-Tala’i (Pioneers) Camp, amidst confirmations that the mission is concentrated in Al-Tala’i and Al-Ghuwayran, and Kurdish questions regarding certain signals raised by members of the convoy.
Hasakah – The entry of a convoy of General Security and Special Tasks forces into the city of Hasakah today, Tuesday, raised a state of anxiety and questions in the Kurdish street, coinciding with the Syrian Internal Security Forces taking over the Al-Tala’i Camp as part of ongoing arrangements to reorganize the military and security institutions in the governorate.
According to media sources, the convoy includes about 300 personnel from the Special Tasks Regiment. It entered the city of Hasakah and positioned itself at the Al-Tala’i Camp, while its mission, according to circulated information, is limited to the Al-Tala’i and Al-Ghuwayran areas.
Sources indicate that the city of Hasakah includes three regiments of special forces, all of whose members are locals from the governorate, with their duties distributed across different areas of the city.
According to the same information, the First Regiment is responsible for protecting state institutions in the Al-Mufti, Al-Salihiyah, and Al-Aziziyah neighborhoods, while the Second Regiment handles the protection of the Tel Hajar, Al-Kallasah, Al-Mushayrifah, and the Old Security Square neighborhoods. Meanwhile, the Third Regiment guards state institutions in Al-Ghuwayran and Al-Nashwa.
During the past phase, two Special Tasks regiments were formed from Asayish personnel, while a third regiment comprising about 300 members entered the city of Hasakah today and settled in the Al-Tala’i Camp.
Why Did the Convoy Spark Concern in the Kurdish Street?
According to sources, the state of concern was not only linked to the entry of forces into the city, but it increased against the backdrop of some members of the convoy raising the index finger gesture—a signal that sources say has been associated in the memory of the Kurdish people with the Daesh (ISIS) organization.
These scenes raised questions among Kurdish citizens, including those who questioned the reason for raising this gesture, given that the overwhelming majority of Kurds in northeastern Syria are Sunni Muslims.
Deployment Comes Within Broader Security Arrangements
The entry of Special Tasks forces into Hasakah comes at a time when the governorate is witnessing accelerated steps to rearrange the security and military situation, within the framework of integrating formations and institutions formerly affiliated with the “SDF” into state institutions.
Reports published today confirmed that several military and security formations affiliated with the transitional government began entering Hasakah city center via multiple axes, including the Internal Security Forces, General Security, Military Police, Special Forces, and Highway Security, coinciding with the handover of a number of security and military headquarters and facilities.
Reports also indicated that the Internal Security Forces positioned themselves at the Al-Tala’i Camp near the eastern entrance of Hasakah, and that the convoy included vehicles belonging to the Special Tasks forces of the Ministry of Interior, as part of the security arrangements linked to completing the integration process of military and security institutions and entities in the governorate.
The process of integrating “Asayish” personnel into the Internal Security Forces had begun its steps over the past months; reports in May mentioned the start of conducting individual interviews with “Asayish” members in preparation for their integration into the Internal Security Forces.
In the same context, it was announced on August 25, 2026, that the mission of the “SDF” had ended and that it was dissolved as an independent military force, following the completion of the integration process of its fighters into the Syrian Army formations, in a step that paved the way for completing the integration arrangements of military and security institutions and personnel in northeastern Syria.
