“Together, we remain committed to a continued security partnership to ensure that Daesh (ISIS) remnants can never regenerate.”
ERBIL (Kurdistan 24) – The Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) arrested five ISIS facilitators in northeast Syria in operations carried out from Nov. 28 to Dec. 4, the official Twitter account of the US-led Special Operations Joint Task Force-Levant (SOJTF LEVANT) announced on Saturday.
“From Nov. 28 to Dec. 4, @comc_sdf conducted multiple operations which removed five Daesh facilitators from the battlefield to ensure #Daesh (Arabic acronym for ISIS) is unable to reemerge in northeast Syria and deny their ability to move freely,” the account said.
The SOJTF LEVANT oversees Special Forces activities in Syria, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, and Egypt.

“Our capable @CMOC_SDF (SDF) partners continue to solidify gains against Daesh (ISIS) and maintain safety and security for the people of NE (Northeast) Syria,” the official account of the Combined Joint Task Force-Operation Inherent Resolve (the US-led Coalition against ISIS), said in a tweet.
“Together, we remain committed to a continued security partnership to ensure that Daesh (ISIS) remnants can never regenerate.”
Despite the SDF and the US-led coalition announcing the defeat of the extremist group’s so-called caliphate on Mar. 23, 2019, ISIS sleeper cell attacks continue in areas liberated from the militants.
The SDF and US-led coalition regularly carry out such operations against the militant group to prevent it from making a resurgence in the region.
The US will retain military forces in northeast Syria to stop ISIS regrouping, the US National Security Council’s Coordinator for the Middle East and North Africa Brett McGurk said on Thursday during a conference hosted by the Arab Gulf States Institute in Washington, North Press reported.
