The Internal Security Forces, Women’s Protection Units (YPJ) and Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) launched ‘Operation Enduring Security’ to search the Hol camp and its surroundings on Wednesday. The operation aims to pursue ISIS remnants and collaborators within the camp and secure the rural areas near the camp.

On the first day of Operation Enduring Security, the forces successfully executed sweep operations and pursued remnants of ISIS terrorist cells, adhering to the approved plan.

The sweep operation extended to vast areas in the northern and southern countryside of Hol, encompassing the Syrian-Iraqi border region and numerous natural caves and caches identified as potential terrorist hideouts.

The operation forces conducted raids on several houses used as shelters by ISIS elements, engaging in clashes with two terrorist cells that opened fire. As a result, one terrorist was eliminated, and another was wounded during the clashes.

The operation forces captured 40 ISIS cell terrorists and seized a quantity of weapons and ammunition.

“We remain fully committed to the successful execution of this operation and will continue to work diligently to eliminate the threat of ISIS terrorism and secure the region,” said the statement by the Operation Room of Enduring Security.
