SDF Special Units, backed by the International Coalition forces, have conducted a precise security operation in the al-Aziziah neighborhood, Heseke city.

According to the SDF Press Center, the operation targeted an ISIS leader who was formerly an Emir in ISIS and was involved in crimes of murder against civilians. Now, he is responsible for transporting ISIS cell members, IEDs, and motorcycle bombs to al-Hasaka city and other areas in North-East Syria, in addition to smuggling families of some ISIS leaders from the al-Hol camp.

Based on precise intelligence information, SDF forces raided the house of the terrorist and arrested him after calling for a safe surrender.

“Our Counter-terrorism operations continue in the region by the SDF and the International Coalition to ensure the enduring defeat of ISIS and maintain the safety and security of the region,” said the SDF statement released on Sunday.
