Two Joint Anti-ISIS Operations Resulted in Two ISIS Terrorists Captured in al-Hasakah Countryside

As part of our ongoing counter-terrorism operations, our SDF’s Military Operations Teams TOL, in cooperation with the international coalition, conducted, on September 8, two simultaneous security operations in the al-Hasakah countryside, targeting two ISIS terrorists.

The first operation was conducted in the al-Arisha village and targeted the ISIS terrorist Muhammad Muhammad, originally from Al-Maraya village in Deir Ezzor. Our forces established a security perimeter around the village and successfully captured the terrorists. In the second operation, our forces captured the ISIS terrorist Hussein Musa in the village of Abyad.

Our forces and intelligence services have been monitoring the movements of terrorists entering the North and Eastern Syria Region coming from Turkish-occupied areas. These terrorists pose a significant threat, particularly through motorcycle bombings in al-Hasakah.

Turkish-occupied areas serve as safe havens for ISIS operatives and leaders. Several high-ranking ISIS members have been killed in these areas.

Our SDF forces reaffirm their commitment to maintaining security in the North and Eastern Syria Region. We will continue our security operations against ISIS and any other groups that threaten our region’s stability.
