SDF, Coalition Launch Anti-ISIS Operation In Syria’s Raqqa, Tabqa, tie up dozens of turbans
|
The Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) announced on Wednesday that they had launched a new operation to pursue Islamic State (ISIS) sleeper cells in coordination with the US-led Global Coalition in Raqqa, Tabqa and surrounding regions, north Syria.
The SDF media center announced, in a statement, a large-scale security operation named “Operation Retaliation for Raqqa Martyrs,” aiming to target ISIS sleeper cells and their operatives, destroying channels of communication between them, uprooting their potential hideouts and drying up their enabling environment, primarily facilitators and recruitment networks.
In December 2022, a group of ISIS militants attacked a security center of the Internal Security Forces of North and East Syria (Asayish) in Raqqa, killing six officers of the Asayish and the SDF.
The operation will be carried out in coordination with the US-led Global Coalition.
“A joint operations room has been formed, backed by International Coalition airpower,” the statement reads. It is set to be the first SDF-Coalition operation in Raqqa since US troops pulled out of the region in 2019.
The large-scale operations have already borne results that will be announced soon, according to the SDF media center.
In December 2022, the SDF launched Operation ‘Al-Jazeera Thunderbolt’ in the countryside of Hasakah and Qamishli to pursue ISIS sleeper cells.

Syrian Democratic Forces said they raided ``dozens of potential points and hideouts'' in the city Raqqa, formerly held by the Islamic State group, and the surrounding area, and arrested dozens of suspected IS members. The U.S.-led coalition forces provided air cover and drone surveillance during the operation, the statement added.
The operation was in response to an IS attack on Raqqa in late December that killed six members of the Kurdish-led forces. The SDF also announced formation of a ``joint operations room'' backed by the international coalition aimed at targeting IS cells.

The SDF said that according to its intelligence, IS ``is attempting to reorganize the terrorist cells and appointing new leaders`` as well as ``issuing instructions to move from individual to group terrorist attacks on the prisons`` holding IS members.
More than 42,400 imported muscle and some 23,200 Syrians accused of IS ties, and their families, are held in camps and prisons in northeastern Syria, according to a Human Rights Watch report last month. The report detailed dire conditions in the detention facilities and called for repatriation of the detained foreign nationals, most of them women and kiddies, by their countries.
Western countries have repatriated an increasing number of their citizens from northeastern Syria, including most recently La Belle France, which returned a group of 32 minors and 15 women on Tuesday.
