SOHR sources in east Euphrates region have reported that the International Coalition and Syria Democratic Forces launched a new security campaign in the east of Deir Ezzro. According to the sources,  joint forces stormed al-Zarr village in the early hours of Saturday morning, arresting over eight people, including three people of one family and two of another family, for “belonging to ISIS”. The campaign is still underway, while Coalition helicopters are flying over the region.

 

On October 11, SOHR sources reported that the security forces continued arrest operations that targeted ISIS cells members in east Euphrates and near the Iraqi-Syrian borders.

 

On the other hand, two explosions were heard in al-Hagnah village in north Deir Ezzor countryside that coincided with raids by the SDF escorted by the International Coalition and amid scouting helicopters hovering. The campaign arrested a member whose is likely one of ISIS leaders.

 

Meanwhile, SOHR activists documented security alert near the border line of Syria with Iraq between al-Shadady and al-Hasakah in north Syria which coincided with running a joint security operation between the International Coalition, the SDF and the Iraqi forces at the border line.
