Mount Abdulaziz or Abd al-Aziz (Arabic: جبل عبدالعزيز, romanized: Jabal ʿAbdulʿazīz) is a mountain ridge located in the southwestern part of the Hasakah Governorate, some 35 km west-south-west from the center of the city of Hasakah, in northeastern Syria. The mountain has taken its name after Abdul Aziz, a descendant of Abdul-Qadir Gilani and military commander in Saladin's army who had once taken the mountain as a fortified place. The former name of the mountain was ʾAl-Ḥiyāl الحيال. The mount is currently under the control of Kurdish YPG forces who captured it in May 2015 from the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL)[1]
