RAQQA, Syria (North Press) – Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) arrested on Saturday a member of the Islamic State Organization (ISIS) in a village west of Raqqa, northern Syria.
The SDF media center said in a statement that the arrested ISIS member was responsible for facilitating the movement of the organization’s sleeper cells and supplying them financially and logistically.
The SDF statement added that their forces, supported by the US-led Coalition, carried out the operation in the village of Hawi al-Hawa in Raqqa western countryside.
In the operation, the statement said, “Counterfeited documents and IDs were confiscated in addition to communication devices.”
