Rojava security forces thwart attack on international coalition bases

2024-08-31

[RUDAW] Kurdish security forces (Asayish) in northeast Syria (Rojava) on Thursday said that they captured ''dangerous terrorist elements'' planning to target the international coalition bases in the region.

''Our General Security Forces and Special Forces (HAT) conducted two precise security operations in the rural areas of Hasaka and Jal Agha, targeting dangerous terrorist elements who were planning to carry out attacks on international coalition bases in the region,'' read a statement from Rojava Asayish.

The operation was conducted after midnight on Tuesday, according to the statement, during which the group's leader was identified in the village of al-Mizar in the countryside of Hasaka.

The security forces also reported seizing weapons in the operation, including several rockets.

The statement did not clarify whether the apprehended individuals were members of the 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....
(ISIS) or other groups in the region.

The operation comes as the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), which controls Rojava, ramped up its joint anti-ISIS operations with the global coalition.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR), a UK-based conflict monitor, reported on Monday that since the start of August, the SDF and coalition have conducted six ''intensive security operations'' resulting in the arrests of eight members of ISIS cells and the killing of three others in the provinces of Hasaka, Raqqa, and Deir ez-Zor.
