Civil war

Following the Battle of Shadadeh in February 2013, in which the city of Al-Shaddadah fell came under the control of al-Nusra Front, southern parts of Al-Hasakah Subdistrict also fell to al-Nusra Front. ISIS took over from al-Nusra Front in the area, and pushed northwards up to the boundary of al-Hasakah city, culminating in the 2015 Battle of al-Hasakah. ISIS were finally driven from the district in the Al-Shaddadi offensive.

Kawkab military base

Surrounding Mount Kawkab is the largest military base of the governorate, which has remained in the hands of the Syrian Army throughout the war. ISIS attacked the base without success in July 2014 and October 2015.
