On Sunday, the Military Operations Teams (TOL) of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), with support from the International Coalition, carried out a precise security operation in the town of Dhiban in the eastern countryside of Deir ez-Zor. The operation successfully dismantled a dangerous ISIS terrorist cell.
In a statement about the operation, the SDF Press Center said: “After gathering intelligence on the cell’s movements and activities, our forces imposed a tight cordon around the site and called on its members to surrender. Instead, the cell opened fire, prompting clashes that killed three terrorists and captured five others:
Mazen Al-Sarih (“Abi Wafi”)
Fadi Al-Sarih (“Abi Mamoun”)
Madeen Al-Salem
Alawi Abdulrahman (“Ali”)
Amjad Al-Sarih (“Abi Ali”)”
Investigations revealed that the cell was involved in transporting and manufacturing explosives and improvised explosive devices (IEDs), preparing car bombs, and planning attacks targeting military positions, civilians, and public service institutions.
The SDF reaffirmed their commitment to continuing security operations to pursue terrorist cells, dismantle their infrastructure, and ensure enhanced security and stability while eradicating terrorism from the region.
