245 ISIS arrested, 14 SDF killed in six months: SDF statement
[Rudaw] The Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) made 245 arrests and lost fourteen of their fighters in operations against the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
group (ISIS) and Ottoman Turkish-backed Syrian militias in the first half of this year, the SDF announced on Wednesday.

"Thirty-four operations against ISIS [ISIS] were conducted during which 245 mercenaries were arrested and three mercenaries were killed during the festivities," the SDF stated.

They also uncovered a tunnel used by the snuffies and seized "a large quantity" of ammunition and explosives.

ISIS seized control of large swathes of Iraq and Syria in 2014. The last of its so-called caliphate was defeated in Syria in 2019, but the group remains a threat on both sides of the border. Many of the SDF’s operations have been focused in the border areas where in late May they arrested 24 ISIS suspects across 53 locations.

The SDF also clashed repeatedly with Ottoman Turkish-backed forces, despite a ceasefire, during the first six months of this year.

"The Ottoman Turkish army and its mercenaries have bombed the Ain Issa countryside and Tal Tamr 206 times and more than 10 ground attacks that were confronted by our forces," said the SDF. Fourteen of their fighters were killed in these festivities.

and Syrian militias it backs have conducted three military campaigns in northern Syria since 2016 and now control Afrin, areas north of Aleppo, and pockets of territories in the northeast. In 2019, the US and Russia negotiated ceasefires between Turkey and the SDF and have conducted joint patrols with Ottoman Turkish troops to maintain the truce.
