SDF Arrests ISIS Leader North Of Deir Ez-Zor
2022-06-14


During a security operation on Monday, special units of the Syrian Democratic Forces arrested a leader of a security cell of the Islamic State Organization (ISIS) in the northern countryside of Deir ez-Zor, a governorate east Syria.

A military source told North Press that the operation was carried out based on aerial and ground support from the US-led Global Coalition. The operation resulted in the arrest of the leader in Ruwaished badia in the northern countryside of Deir ez-Zor.

The cell of the leader is responsible for transferring information, identifying goals, planning and putting methods to implement hard-line attacks against security, military and service targets in the countryside of Deir ez-Zor and other areas northeast Syria, according to the source.

During the process of checking, the units found and confiscated weapons, equipment, documents and military clothes the leader owned.

On Sunday, the SDF disclosed that its special units, in cooperation with the Global Coalition, captured a funding cell affiliated with the ISIS in the town of al-Hawl east of Hasakah.

Residents of northeast Syria voice concern over the ISIS activities in an attempt to reorganize itself in light of successive Turkish threats to invade the region.
