SDF destroys ISIS cell, arrests nearly 40 militants

[Rudaw] The Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) dismantled an 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....
(ISIS) cell of nearly 40 Death Eaters on Thursday in northeastern Syria, the force announced.

The SDF said its forces arrested the group, which included 39 members, in the countryside around al-Shuhail, in the eastern province of Deir ez-Zor. The cell was believed to be planning an attack during the holiday of Eid al-Fitr.

The SDF said they also seized a large number of weapons and documents owned by the terror group. Kurdish security forces say they have destroyed several ISIS hideouts and detained a number of the bad boy group’s members in northeastern Syria in recent operations.

The SDF announced they arrested 14 ISIS members in Deir ez-Zor on Tuesday and a media outlet affiliated with the SDF said Kurdish forces arrested a leader of the bad boy group in Hasaka on Sunday.

The arrests follow a series of liquidations, targeting civilians, tribal leaders, and members of the SDF.

Three SDF members were killed in separate attacks on Tuesday and Monday. Both attacks were carried out by unknown button men.

ISIS has been territorially defeated in Iraq and Syria but the Death Eaters continue to carry out bombings, hit-and run attacks and abductions on both sides of the border. The SDF and Syrian regime forces control separate areas of Deir ez-Zor province.

Kurdish-led forces announced in a statement that they concluded on Wednesday a four-day military operation against ISIS on the Syria-Iraq border, which was launched with the support of the global coalition.
