Among those arrested was a person responsible for supplying the organization and a person who played the role of IS intermediary, it is stated in the relevant press release. The third person is said to be an “associate” of the jihadists.
The armed forces of the United States of America captured three members of the jihadist organization Islamic State (IS) during a raid they conducted in eastern Syria, the US Joint Command in charge of the Middle East region (USCENTCOM) announced yesterday on Sunday.
Among those arrested was a person responsible for supplying the organization and a person who played the role of IS intermediary, it is stated in the relevant press release. The third person is said to be an “associate” of the jihadists.
A civilian was slightly injured and taken to a nearby hospital during the raid, which was carried out yesterday Saturday by ground forces and helicopter-borne units, according to the same source.
After the defeat of IS in Syria in 2019, the international coalition led by Washington frequently conducts operations against alleged members of the organization.
While hundreds of US soldiers, deployed in northeastern Syria as part of the anti-jihadist coalition, continue to fight alongside the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF, dominated by the Kurds) and target IS members.
In 2022, two leaders of the jihadist organization were killed, one in February by US special forces in the northwestern part of the country, the other by former regime-backed rebels in Deraa (south).
