SDF captures ISIS operative in Syria raid
In al-Hasakah province of Syria, the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) have carried out a successful unilateral raid against ISIS transportation and smuggling operations. The operation resulted in the capture of an ISIS operative, according to sources on the ground.
The SDF, a coalition of Kurdish and Arab fighters supported by the United States, have been at the forefront of the battle against ISIS in Syria. The group has been instrumental in reclaiming large swathes of territory from the extremist group, which once held significant portions of Syria and Iraq.
The raid, which was reportedly carried out with the support of the US-led coalition, is the latest in a series of operations aimed at degrading ISIS capabilities and disrupting their activities. The capture of the ISIS operative is seen as a significant success in this ongoing battle.
In a statement, the coalition reiterated its commitment to "AdviseAssistEnable" the SDF and other partner forces in the fight against ISIS. The statement also highlighted the importance of cooperation between coalition forces and their local partners in achieving lasting success against extremist groups.
