In two separate security operations conducted on October 2 and 3, the military operations teams (TOL) of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) successfully dismantled two ISIS terrorist cells operating in the eastern countryside of Deir ez-Zor and Raqqa.

The first operation, conducted with the support of international coalition forces, targeted “Ghazi Al-Farhan,” a terrorist from the town of “Khasham” in Deir ez-Zor. Al-Farhan was actively involved in establishing extremist courses for ISIS members, indoctrinating them with extremist ideology, and encouraging them to commit terrorist acts.

The second operation targeted an ISIS cell operating in the village of “Al-Hamrat” in Raqqa. The SDF captured two terrorists, “Manhal Ibrahim Al-Hamoud” and “Madin Ibrahim Al-Hamoud,” both from the city of Homs. "These terrorists were responsible for receiving and distributing weapons, explosives, and military supplies to ISIS cells for use in attacks against SDF forces, civilians, and public facilities," said the SDF Media Centre in a statement about the operation.

The SDF underlined that they remain committed to eradicating the remnants of ISIS from north and eastern Syria, ensuring the security and safety of the region’s population.
