“Today (November 28), we captured 10 ISIS members in the rural area of ​​Abu Xashab town. Our forces first tracked the movements of a cell linked to armed terrorist attacks, then arrested cell members and confiscated their weapons after a successful operation,” the statement revealed.

The confiscated weapons are listed as follows: 2 RPK bullets, 18 Kalashnikov rifles, 45 ammunition clips, 2 Explosives, 4 hand grenades, 5 hunting rifles and 6 grenade capsules.

“Our forces are continuing to interrogate the cell members. They will later be sent to the General Prosecution Committee.
