The Anti-Terror Forces (HAT) of the Internal Security Forces in North-East Syria arrested a gang leader of ISIS in an operation in Deir ez-Zor.

According to a statement released by the Internal Security Forces in North-East Syria on Tuesday, the raid was carried out in northern Deir ez-Zor on July 31 morning as part of operations against terrorist cells.

The special operation was supported by the International Coalition forces in line with the surveillance activities by the Asayish (public security forces).

The arrested ISIS gang leader was responsible for financing the members of the terrorist organization in order to implement their terrorist plans to target the region. His weapons and communication devices were also seized.

The Internal Security Forces assured that they would “continue to pursue the remnants of terrorists who are trying to disturb the security and safety of our regions".

On the other hand, the Internal Security Forces units dismantled an explosive device in an abandoned house in the city of Heseke.
