ERBIL, Kurdistan Region - Kurdish-led security forces in northeast Syria (Rojava) announced on Friday the arrest of three suspected members of the Islamic State (ISIS) in an early morning raid the day before in eastern Syria.
Internal Security Forces (Asayish) said that their special forces carried out “a qualitative security operation” in the northern countryside of Deir ez-Zor at dawn on Thursday. The operation was supported by the US-led global coalition against ISIS.
“The operation comes within the framework of continuous efforts to pursue the organization's cells and dry up the sources of terrorism in the region,” the Asayish said in a statement, adding that there were no casualties during the raid.
During the operation quantities of weapons, documents, and communication devices were seized, the statement added.
“Our specialized security agencies have begun preliminary investigations with them in preparation for their referral to the competent judiciary,” the Asayish said.
