QAMISHLI, Syria (North Press) \u2013<\/strong> The Women’s Protection Units (YPJ) announced on Wednesday foiling a plan for an Islamic State (ISIS) attack in the countryside of Raqqa, northern Syria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The YPJ’s Media Center<\/a> stated that on May 3 their forces carried out a joint operation along with Anti-Terrorism Units (YAT) of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) against ISIS cells in the east of Raqqa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Founded in April 2013, the YPJ is an all-female force that is mainly made up of Kurds but includes other ethnic groups in Northeastern Syria. It operates under the umbrella of the SDF.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After receiving information that “ISIS cells were preparing for a major attack in Raqqa city,” YPJ forces arrested four ISIS militants during the operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The YPJ did not specify in which area in Raqqa they carried out the security operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
