SDF announces arrest of five ISIS members in Syria’s Deir ez-Zor
RAQQA, Syria (North Press) – The Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) announced on Monday the arrest of five members of the Islamic Stat Organization (ISIS) in the eastern countryside of Deir ez-Zor, east Syria.
On its official website, the SDF explained that its forces arrested five members of ISIS and confiscated all weapons and documents they obtained.
The confiscations proved their involvement in a number of terrorist operations carried out against military forces and residents of the region, according to SDF.
The SDF publicized film footage of the five arrested ISIS members with their head against a wall in addition to a cluster of medium weapons lined up on the ground.
On February 6, the SDF arrested an ISIS sleeper cell in the town of Diban, 50 kilometers east of Deir ez-Zor. They were planning to conduct a suicide attack in the region.
