SDF, Global Coalition kill one ISIS member, arrest another in Deir ez-Zor; bodies of 2 kidnapped SDF fighters found


A member of ISIS was killed and four others were arrested on Monday in two separate operations by the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) along the Global Coalition forces, in a town, east of Deir ez-Zor, east Syria.

“The Global Coalition aircraft targeted the house of Abed al-Salem al-Abbo, an ISIS member, near the main road in the center of the town of Theban with a helicopter landing operation,” a military source from Theban town, 50 km east of Deir ez-Zor, told North Press.

“Al-Abbo was killed during the landing operation when trying to escape, and another member of ISIS was arrested,” the source said.

The landing coincided with raids by SDF to pursue wanted men on charges of belonging to ISIS in the same town.

“SDF stormed al-Latwa neighborhood near the bank of the Euphrates River in the center of the town, to pursue wanted persons on charges of belonging to ISIS,” the same source told North Press.

“Three wanted persons, including a displaced person from the town of Mahkan, which is under the control of government forces, east of Deir ez-Zor, west of the Euphrates, were arrested in the raids,” the source added.

Recently, the eastern countryside of Deir ez-Zor has been witnessing an increase in cases of killing of members of the SDF, employees of the Autonomous Administration, tribal dignitaries and civilians, as a result of which SDF and the Global Coalition forces have intensified their security operations in the region.

On Sunday, ISIS announced, through media close to it, capturing and killing three SDF members in the town Susah in the eastern countryside of Deir ez-Zor.



Residents a town east of Deir ez-Zor, east Syria, found, on Tuesday, bodies of two fighters of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) who were kidnapped three days ago.

“Residents of the town found bodies of two SDF fighters near the site of their work lying on a land in the center of Susah town, 120 kilometers east of Deir ez-Zor,” an SDF military source said.

Three SDF fighters were kidnapped while they were on an exploratory walkabout on the river crossings in the town, to find the bodies of two of them later while the third is still missed, the source added.

Yesterday, the Islamic State Organization (ISIS), through close outlets, claimed responsibility for arresting and killing three SDF fighters after subjecting them to investigations and confiscating the weapons they had.

In response, the SDF imposed a curfew in the town after the incident and started patrols to pursue the kidnappers, but they did not managed to hunt them so far.

Recently, Deir ez-Zor countryside has been witnessing a spike in assassinations against SDF members, the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (AANES) employees, clan dignitaries and civilians despite launching intensive security operations.

Two days ago, the SDF arrested three wanted individuals on charges of links to ISIS in the town of Diban in the eastern countryside of Deir ez-Zor.
