He allegedly oversaw the receipt and distribution of weapons and military equipment among \u201cterrorist cells\u201d and was responsible for gathering intelligence on SDF military points, the statement added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the raid, a quantity of weapons and hand grenades was seized, according to the SDF. The statement emphasized that the arrest of al-Mousa represents another step in the ongoing efforts by the SDF and the International Coalition to dismantle the remaining ISIS networks across northern and eastern Syria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The SDF regularly conducts joint operations with the U.S.-led Coalition as part of its continued campaign to counter the resurgence of ISIS in regions once controlled by the group. These operations have focused on areas such as Raqqa, Deir ez-Zor, and Tabqa, where ISIS cells remain active despite significant territorial losses in recent years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>By Atoun Jan<\/strong><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RAQQA, Syria (North Press) \u2013 The Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) announced on Tuesday the arrest of Ahmad Abdulqader al-Mousa, a senior leader of Islamic State (ISIS) cells, during a security operation in the city of Tabqa, northern Syria.
