During the sweep operations conducted in the Al-Busayra town on September 3rd of this month, SDF operational units apprehended an ISIS senior leader responsible for financing the ISIS terrorist cells in the region.

“Based on precise intelligence, our SDF operational units raided the place where the terrorist Yahya Ahmed Al-Hajji, aka Abu Bara’a Al-Hasan, was hiding. Al-Hajji is originally from Al-Safira City, and he serves as the financial officer of the so-called Levant State of ISIS and holds a leadership position in the so-called Military Command Council of ISIS,” said the SDF Media Center.

“Additionally, he previously served as an assistant to the terrorist Mamoun Al-Shami, the head of the Financial Authority within the ISIS organization during its control of Deir ez-Zor and Raqqa. Al-Hajji has recently been actively involved in funding terrorist cells, orchestrating their attacks, and recruiting financiers,” according to the SDF statement on Monday.
