Syrian President Ahmed al-Shara’a recently secured Syria's official entry into the US-led Coalition Against ISIS, formalizing the new military cooperation on counter-terrorism.
The raid was supported by the US-led coalition against ISIS, who provided air cover and intelligence, leading to the arrest of the terror cell which had planned attacks in northeast Syria.
ISIS terrorists targeted Kurdish Syrian Democratic Forces soldiers in northeast Syria, killing five and wounding one. The SDF claims they thwarted the attack and vowed to avenge the "martyrs."
The terrorist, known as "Abdul Rahman Al-Halabi," was the group's head of external operations and security, the Iraqi service said.
Symbol of ISIS defeat and the disaster of the war, the Al-Nuri Mosque has been restored along with Mosul city.
The foreigners appear to be mostly arrested on charges of being affiliated with ISIS or being members of families of ISIS members.
European governments' refusal to take back citizens from refugee camps, while providing little economic support, plays a role in preventing the region from healing.
While Syrian officials report one senior leader was captured alive and another killed, uncertainty surrounds the outcome of the high-profile mission.
ISIS was largely defeated in Syria in 2019. However, it still has cells that operate. The US-led Coalition continues anti-terror operations across both Syria and Iraq.
The group's ultimate goal is to establish a “caliphate” in Central Africa, similar to ISIS’s vision in Iraq and Syria.
Syria’s new government will relocate ISIS families from camps, with Kurdish and US support.
