A two day battle followed during which 40 ISIS members were killed.
Most of the ISIS fighters managed to escape their attackers and sought safety by surrendering to forces from the Afghan government.
They reportedly include 25-30 foreigners, including two Frenchmen.
Those who surrendered include the commander and deputy commander of the ISIS unit.
Jawzjan Police chief Mohammad Jawzjani told US military newspaper Stars and Stripes: “This was ISIS’s last centre in the north of Afghanistan.
“Now we can say that ISIS is cleared from the North.”
An Afghan army spokesman, Mohammad Hanif Rezaee, said: “Their fighters have surrendered in the past, but this time it is more important because the ISIS leader and deputy surrendered with more than 150 fighters all at once.”

Mujahid, a senior Taliban figure, said the group captured 128 ISIS
terrorists who didn’t make it to the Afghan Government.
On the ISIS prisoners he added: “There will be investigations, and our military courts will decide on their fates.
“Let’s see what happens.”

ISIS have established a
reputation for brutality in Afghanistan, carrying out beheadings, rapes
and executing prisoners by forcing them to sit on explosives.
The main concentrations of ISIS fighters are in Nangarhar Province, in Eastern Afghanistan, though they do also have pockets in the North that both the Afghan government and Taliban are trying to snuff out.
In April last year President Trump ordered the US military to drop the “mother of all bombs”, the most powerful conventional bomb the US has, on an ISIS cave complex in Eastern Afghanistan.
