Ibrahim al-Khalaf, from al-Bukamal town, located on the other side of Hajin town said to ANHA agency that ISIS had used them as human shields. "We have been deprived of all the necessities of life, including food and water, and used us in digging tunnels to hide from the blows of the Syrian Democratic Forces.

He also referred IS mercenaries’ practices such as beheading, amputations and field executions in the center of Hajin town.

Ahmed al-Ali, a resident of al-Buseira town, said that IS mercenaries were preventing people to leave the town and telling the people that Syrian Democratic Forces are killing anyone who wants to leave.
