Our Forces Dismantle a VBIED and Arrest an entire ISIS Cell As part of the ongoing security operations to pursue ISIS terrorist cells, the military operations teams (TOL) and commando forces of the Syrian Democratic Forces, with direct support from the International Coalition Forces, carried out last Sunday a precise and precise security operation in the western countryside of Deir ez-Zor. The operation resulted in dismantling a vehicle-borne improvised explosive device (VBIED) prepared for a terrorist attack and arresting all members of a six-man ISIS cell, without any losses among our forces. Those arrested are: Mohammad al-Obeid (aka Abu Osama / Abu Israa), Khader al-Obeid (aka Abu Awwad), Ibrahim al-Obeid (aka Abu Iyad), Hussein al-Ali, Abdulhamidi al-Nasser (aka Abu Dahham), Khalaf al-Hassan (aka Abu Nour al-Din). According to preliminary investigations, the arrested terrorists admitted their involvement in transporting and distributing explosive materials to cells linked to them, in addition to manufacturing explosive devices and preparing car bombs, with the aim of carrying out terrorist operations in the region. They also admitted to targeting military points and sites belonging to our forces, as well as civilian objects and service institutions, in an attempt to undermine security and stability. This operation thwarted a serious terrorist plot and directly spared civilians and civilian infrastructure significant human and material losses, as the VBIED was dismantled and the entire cell was arrested before executing its plan. The Syrian Democratic Forces affirm that security vigilance remains at the highest level and that all suspicious ISIS-related movements are being closely monitored. Any threat to the security of our areas or civilians will be met firmly.
