ERBIL (Kurdistan 24) – The US-led coalition against ISIS reaffirmed its commitment to its “strong partnership” with the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) in separate tweets on Friday and Saturday. 

“The #SDF - @Coalition combined patrols are another way of demonstrating our strong partnership with our SDF partners & dedication to our mission,” tweeted the official Twitter account of the Combined Joint Task Force – Operation Inherent Resolve, the coalition, on Saturday. 

“Together, we remain committed to ensuring that Daesh (ISIS) remnants can never regenerate.” 

Early Sunday, the SDF arrested a number of ISIS suspects who were plotting an attack against coalition forces in Syria’s eastern Deir al-Zor province.
