The SDF Special Forces supported by the Global Coalition launched a security operation in the village of al-Jarniyah in Tabqa, the SDF Media Center said.
"The operation targeted an ISIS leader who was formerly involved in fighting alongside the ISIS against our forces in addition, he was responsible for manufacturing VBIEDs that used to target our forces at the frontlines during the Operations against ISIS in 2019," the statement added.
The ISIS leader was hiding in a house in the village, and "based on precise intelligence information, our forces raided the house of the terrorist, arrested him, and confiscated equipment and documents," it added.
