Al Ḩasakah
Hasakah is a city in northeastern Syria and the capital of the Hasakah Governorate.
With a 2023 estimated population of 422,445, Hasakah is populated by Arabs, Kurds, Assyrians and a smaller number of Armenians and Chechens. Hasakah is 80 kilometres south of the city of Qamishli. The Khabur River, a tributary of the Euphrates River, flows west–east through the city. The Jaghjagh River flows into the Khabur from the north at Hasakah. After Ayn Issa came under the control of the Syrian transitional government, Hasakah became the new capital of the DAANES.
