ERBIL (Kurdistan 24) – According to a report of the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR), two members of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) were killed and three others were injured on Thursday in Raqqa.

SOHR has documented 57 ISIS operations in northeast Syria since 2023, resulting in at least 39 fatalities.

Despite the SDF's liberation of Raqqa from ISIS in 2017, with the support of the US-led coalition, ISIS cells continue to carry out attacks on security forces and civilian institutions in the region.
