The US military’s Central Command (CENTCOM) said in a statement on Saturday that they assisted the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) to conduct a raid and capture Salah Mohammed al-Abdullah, "an ISIS cell leader," near the town of al-Shuhayl in Deir ez-Zor province.
"During the operation, the SDF recovered multiple weapons to include a 12.7mm (.50 cal) Sniper rifle, an AK-47, hand grenades, and various weapons and ammunition," said CENTCOM, which oversees US troops in the Middle East.
"The SDF-led operation is part of the ongoing Defeat-ISIS campaign to degrade ISIS networks and prevent the resurgence of the terrorist group in the region. CENTCOM forces enabled SDF during the operation by providing technical support and intelligence," it added.
The SDF thanked CENTCOM for their support in the operation.
