According to an official SDF statement, the arrest followed \u201cdeep and long-term intelligence work\u201d that successfully tracked the suspect within the camp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Initial investigations revealed that al-Masiri played a central role in reactivating ISIS sleeper cells, coordinating ideological and military recruitment, and manufacturing explosive devices intended for use outside the camp. These devices, the statement noted, were aimed at targeting civilians, SDF personnel, and public service institutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The SDF described the suspect\u2019s mission as an attempt to \u201crevive the group\u2019s structure within the camp and transform it into a hub for planning and managing cells beyond its perimeter.\u201d His arrest, the statement added, \u201cdelivers a significant blow to the organization\u2019s operational capabilities and disrupts key communication and funding networks.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The operation was carried out with direct field coordination with the Global Coalition, which continues to support counterterrorism efforts in the region. The SDF emphasized that such joint operations are part of a broader strategy to \u201ceradicate the group\u2019s presence at its roots and ensure lasting security and stability in liberated areas.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Al-Hawl Camp, located in the eastern countryside of Hasakah, houses tens of thousands of individuals, including families of ISIS fighters. The camp has long been a focal point of security concerns due to the presence of radicalized elements and the risk of extremist resurgence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In its statement, the SDF reaffirmed its commitment to preventing the camp from becoming a breeding ground for future violence. \u201cAl-Hawl Camp will not be a space where terrorism thrives, nor will we allow the suffering of displaced people to be exploited as a cover for the emergence of a new generation of violence,\u201d the statement read.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No further details were provided about the next steps in the investigation or potential additional arrests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>By Atoun Jan<\/strong><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>HASAKAH, Syria (North Press) \u2013 The Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) announced on Saturday that its special units, in direct coordination with the US-led Global Coalition, conducted a high-level security operation at dawn inside al-Hawl Camp in northeast Syria, resulting in the arrest of a senior Islamic State (ISIS) leader.
