Islamic State group militants escaped from a prison in eastern Syria<\/a> amid a chaotic transfer of control between the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) and the Syrian government on Monday, according to U.S. officials and regional sources.<\/p>\n

The incident happened at Al-Shaddadi prison<\/a> in Syria\u2019s Hasakah province after a ceasefire had been brokered, which, according to reports, had not been moving fast enough.<\/p>\n

The truce came after days of fighting, with Damascus accusing the SDF of dragging its feet on security handovers, sources told Fox News Digital.<\/p>\n

Syrian leader Ahmed al-Sharaa had publicly signaled impatience with Kurdish autonomy, effectively telling the SDF leadership that it was time to dissolve.<\/p>\n

Under an integration agreement reached Sunday, the SDF also agreed to withdraw from two Arab-majority provinces it had controlled for years.<\/p>\n

The deal then included responsibility for prisons holding ISIS detainees who would be transferred from the SDF to the Syrian government.<\/p>\n

The U.S. had worked with the SDF to move the worst of the worst ISIS foreign fighters to other, more secure Syrian prisons before the ceasefire.<\/p>\n

Sources said there were fewer than 1,000 detainees at Al-Shaddadi prison previously, but only about 200 were there when the messy transition occurred Monday.<\/p>\n

As SDF guards abandoned Al-Shaddadi prison and Syrian forces moved to take control, local residents broke roughly 200 ISIS detainees out of the facility, sources said.<\/p>\n

“Most of these were low-level local fighters, not the hardened foreign fighters,” a well-placed source explained.<\/p>\n

The U.S. military<\/a> also said it had worked closely with the SDF in recent months to relocate the most dangerous foreign ISIS detainees to more secure prisons ahead of the ceasefire.\u00a0<\/p>\n

U.S. forces were also said to be closely monitoring developments as the transition unfolded.<\/p>\n

A senior U.S. official also told Fox News that most of the escaped prisoners were quickly rounded up and returned to the prison, which is now under Syrian government control.<\/p>\n

On Monday, the Syrian army imposed a total curfew in the city of Shaddadi and launched sweeping security operations to locate any remaining escapees, according to reports.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, U.S. officials confirmed they were “boosting our presence by air, land and sea,” with the military monitoring the situation very closely.<\/p>\n

A squadron of F-15 fighter jets<\/a> was repositioned and C-17 aircraft carrying heavy equipment arrived in the area. The USS Abraham Lincoln is expected to enter the U.S. Central Command area by Jan. 25.<\/p>\n

In Iraq, Kurdish protesters<\/a> were also brought under control after amassing at the U.S. Consulate in Erbil, with reports of demonstrators standing on walls.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
