Five killed, two injured in ‘terrorist’ attacks on Rojava Asayish
[Rudaw] The Kurdish-led Internal Security Forces (Asayish) in northeast Syria (Rojava) confirmed on Tuesday that five of their personnel were killed and two others were maimed in a series of attacks by "terrorist groups" against their positions.

In a statement, the Asayish said that a series of "treacherous attacks" carried out by "terrorist groups" had targeted their positions, resulting in the deaths of five members in the Shaddadi area of northeastern Syria’s Hasaka province, and the injury of two others in the Tabqa region of northern Raqqa province.

Both Tabqa and Shaddadi are in areas administered by the Democratic Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (DAANES).

TThe Asayish characterized the attacks as "a futile attempt to undermine stability and spread chaos" that "will not deter us from performing our duty." The Kurdish-led forces added that "extensive investigations" are underway to identify the perpetrators and hold them accountable.

A day prior, the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) reported that five members of the Asayish were killed in an attack carried out by Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....

The UK-based war monitor characterized the attack as part of a broader ISIS campaign aimed at "reorganizing its ranks and creating a state of chaos."

Since the beginning of 2025, SOHR says it has "documented 126 ISIS operations" in areas administered by the DAANES. "These operations included armed assaults, assassinations and bombings," resulting in the deaths of 51 individuals - 34 fighters from the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), nine civilians, and eight ISIS members.
