For arresting commander of IS-IS | SDF and International Coalition execute joint operation in Deir Ezzor

Deir Ezzor province: A patrol of anti-terrorism units stormed ISIS positions in Al-Adad area in Al-Rawda area in Al-Sawr Al-Sharqiyah desert in northern Deir Ezzor countryside, with aerial support of the International Coalition.

According to reliable SOHR sources, the operation was aimed to arrest the Iraqi prominent commander of ISIS “Abo Ali Al-Sahrawy”, where two ISIS members were arrested in the operation.

On February 22, SDF-backed Counter-terrorism Units, backed by Coalition helicopters, stormed a house in Jadid Ekaydat town in the east of Deir Ezzor, searching for ISIS cells. The unites asked ISIS members, via loudspeakers, to surrender, but they resisted, before clashes erupted between both sides, which resulted in the death of two “ISIS” members.
