SDF (Syrian Democratic Forces) Special Units, backed by field and air support by the International Coalition forces, conducted yesterday a security operation in the al-Jourzy area, the eastern countryside of Deir ez-Zor.

According to SDF Media Center, the operation targeted an ISIS cell of three terrorists who were responsible for recruiting terrorists, levying taxes “Zakat”, and extorting the tribal leaders and the employees of the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (AANES), in addition to transporting the motorcycle bombs to the ISIS cells and facilitating their movement in the areas of North-East Syria.

Based on precise intelligence information, SDF forces raided the house of the terrorist cell and arrested three of them and confiscated equipment, weapons, and documents.

“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,” the statement by SDF Media Center said.
