SDF captures suspected senior ISIS operative in Hasaka

[Rudaw] The Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) on Wednesday captured a suspected senior Islamic State

...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....

The SDF, supported by the coalition, "conducted a precise security operation in the city of Hasaka. The operation targeted a senior ISIS official responsible for the group’s General Research Division in Syria, who was involved in identifying targets for terrorist attacks," the People’s Protection Units (YPG) - the SDF’s backbone - said in a statement.

The Kurdish-led and US-backed SDF, the de facto army of Rojava, has carried out numerous operations this year to counter what they say is a resurgence in ISIS activity, targeting both their forces and civilians.

"This mission reflects the continued efforts of the Syrian Democratic Forces to pursue ISIS remnants, dismantle their operational structures, and safeguard the region from terrorist threats," the statement added.

On Wednesday, at least one Kurdish-led internal security forces (Asayish) member was injured in two separate suspected ISIS attacks in Syria’s eastern Deir ez-Zor province.
