Syria presses ahead with anti-ISIS crackdown after US strikes
|
[Rudaw] Syria’s interior ministry announced on Sunday that it had dismantled an 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....

s on ISIS positions in Syria in response to the killing of three Americans earlier this month.
In a statement on X, the ministry quoted Brigadier General Ahmed al-Dalati, head of internal security in the Damascus countryside, saying that "specialized units from internal security, in cooperation with the General Intelligence Service, conducted a precise security operation in the Daraya area," southwest of Damascus.
Dalati added that the operation led to the "complete dismantling of the terrorist cell, the arrest of its leader and six members, and the seizure of weapons and ammunition intended for their terrorist activities."
He further emphasized that the operation is "part of an ongoing strategy to cut off sources of terrorism, prevent threats to community security, and achieve peace and stability."
Syria in late November became the 90th country to join the US-led Global Coalition to Defeat ISIS. Since then, its security forces have ramped up efforts to eliminate ISIS remnants, particularly in and around the capital, Damascus.
On Wednesday, Syrian security forces raided an ISIS hideout in the Dummar neighborhood, in northwestern Damascus, seizing improvised bombs (IEDs) and "suicide drones," the interior ministry said in a previous statement.
A day earlier, Syrian internal security forces dismantled an ISIS cell responsible for "multiple attacks on security and military patrols across Idlib and Aleppo provinces in northwestern and northern Syria," respectively, the same ministry relayed.
The intensified crackdown comes days after two US soldiers and an interpreter were killed in an ambush in Tadmur (Palmyra), in central Homs province, in mid-December. Three other American troops and two members of Syria’s security forces were maimed, according to the Pentagon and Syrian state media.
Over the past six months, US and partner forces have conducted more than 80 operations in Syria to eliminate bully boyz posing a direct threat to US and regional security, CENTCOM Commander Admiral Brad Cooper confirmed in mid-December.
