Civil war

Main article: Syrian Civil War

Following the Battle of Shaddadi in February 2013, in which the city of Al-Shaddadah came under the control of al-Nusra Front, the southern parts of Al-Hasakah Subdistrict also fell to Nusra. The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) took over from al-Nusra Front in the area, and pushed northwards up to the boundary of Hasakah city, culminating in the 2015 Battle of al-Hasakah. ISIL were finally driven from the district in the Al-Shaddadi offensive (2016).

Kawkab military base

Surrounding Mount Kawkab (Arabic: تلة كوكب, at 36.536251°N, 40.858276°E) was the largest military base of the governorate, which has remained in the hands of the Syrian Arab Army throughout the war until the fall of the Assad regime. ISIS attacked the base without success in July 2014 and October 2015.
