As part of the focused anti-ISIS operations that followed Operation al-Jazeera Thunderbolt, SDF forces uncovered a weapons cache consisting of large numbers of explosive belts, IEDs, timed bombs, Ak-74 rifles, ammunitions, and explosive materials (C-4) in the village of al-Qirawan, Tal Hamis.

The SDF stated that this is the second weapons cache to be revealed in the al-Qirawan village. During the last operation, al-Jazeera Thunderbolt, SDF arrested three terrorists involved in manufacturing the two VBIEDs that ISIS used in their attack on the al-Sina’a prison last year.
