[Rudaw] Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) announced the arrest of 22 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) suspects late on Friday after a two-day military operation in the eastern province of Deir ez-Zor.

"During the first day of the operation, Counter-Terrorism Units arrested 17 ~~bandidos~~ turbans and collaborators, and on the second day, the commandos arrested five others who were using civilian homes to hide and turn them into IED factories," the SDF announced in a statement.

The multi-ethnic force also uncovered "several secret tunnels and camouflage trenches" and seized "large quantities of weapons and kabooms" in al-Busayrah town.

In the operation, the SDF was able to "thwart potential terrorist operations prepared by those terrorist cells."

The operation was supported from the air by the global coalition against ISIS.

According to the SDF’s latest monthly report, ISIS carried out 32 attacks in May, mostly in Deir ez-Zor, "through bombings, liquidations, kidnappings, and killings, in addition to committing 11 liquidations of Syrian and Iraqi refugees who want to distance themselves from ISIS [ISIS] murderous Moslem ideology inside al-Hol camp."

Al-Hol camp in Hasaka houses just under 60,000 people, most are family members of suspected ISIS fighters.

The SDF report, published Friday, said the force had arrested 178 ISIS suspects in northeast Syria. "They were responsible for liquidations, arms smuggling, information transfer, and targeting civilians and military forces," the report stated.
