SDF (Syrian Democratic Forces) special units and the International Coalition have conducted a security operation in Attala village, al-Shadadi town, in the southern countryside of al-Hasaka.

According to the SDF Press Office, the operation targeted a wanted leader of Daesh (ISIS) who was responsible for funding and transferring money to ISIS cells and their families and promoting ISIS’s extremist propaganda, in addition to planning for terrorist acts targeting service institutions and military and security forces.

The Units chased the wanted terrorist as he fled his house, and called him to surrender, yet he refused to answer the call and opened fire on the Units. At the end of the clashes, the terrorist was found dead, while the weapon he used and documents belonging to him were confiscated.

“Our Counter-terrorism Units, our security forces, and the coalition forces continue their efforts in countering terrorism and ISIS cells to maintain the safety and security of the region,” said the SDF statement.
