In the framework of our continuous operations against ISIS cells, our Counter-terrorism Units (YAT), with the participation of the international coalition, conducted a security operation against an ISIS cell in Deir Ezzor’s eastern countryside.
Our forces spotted an ISIS cell in the al-Shahil district involved in recruiting terrorists and providing field and logistical support for the ISIS terrorist cells in the region.
On December 21, 2023, our forces conducted a two-phase operation, starting with an airdrop, and imposing a security cordon on the place where the cell was hiding. The operation resulted in arresting a senior ISIS leader along with two other operatives and confiscated the following:
-Glock pistol /1/
-AK-47 /1/
-Smartphones /4/
Our anti-terrorism operations will continue against ISIS terrorist cells in the region to achieve the enduring defeat of ISIS and maintain safety and security.
