ERBIL (Kurdistan 24) – Special units of the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) supported by the US-led coalition arrested three terrorist suspects in al-Hol town, near the notorious al-Hol camp, east of al-Hasakah city, the SDF Press Centre said on Sunday.

“The arrested terrorists were responsible for transferring funds financing the ISIS cells in al-Hassaka countryside and other areas in the north and eastern Syria,” the SDF said.

“Weapons, equipment, and documents were confiscated.”
 

The SDF and the coalition regularly carry out raids against ISIS in northeast Syria to prevent ISIS from making a resurgence in the region.
