(ISIS) operatives in an operation in northeast Syria’s (Rojava) notorious al-Hol camp with support from the US-led coalition.

The SDF and the US-led anti-ISIS coalition "conducted a targeted operation inside al-Hol Camp. The operation successfully led to the capture of two ISIS operatives responsible for internal security operations within the camp," The People’s Protection Units (YPG) - the SDF’s backbone - said in a statement.

It said that both operatives had participated in the jihadists’ operations in Syria and neighboring Iraq, before moving to the notorious camp in an attempt to "maintain the group’s influence."

On Tuesday, an ISIS attack in the eastern Deir ez-Zor province killed an SDF fighter and injured two others.
