Deir ez-Zor | U.S. forces and SDF arrest former ISIS member in countryside

SOHR activists say that U.S. forces and SDF have arrested a former SDF member, after he defected from the Islamic State, from his workplace near the bridge of al-Busayrah city in the eastern countryside of Deir ez-Zor, and took him to his home in the village of Al-Zar in eastern countryside Deir ez-Zor, and then took him to an unknown destination after searching his home.

It is worth nothing that the detainee was a former member of the Islamic State before joining SDF and retired after being imprisoned and subjected to a failed assassination attempt in the village of Al-Raz.

The security chaos continues and is concentrated in Deir ez-Zor countryside within SDF-held areas, where ISIS cells are active targeting the SDF and security posts there.

SOHR activists have documented today the killing of an SDF official of “Komin” (local committees), after being shot by unknown gunmen at livestock market in Jammah village in the eastern sector of Deir Ezzor province.
