SDF Captures ISIS Funding Cell East Of Hasakah
The Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) announced on Sunday that its special units, in collaboration with the US-led Global Coalition to Defeat ISIS, had captured a funding cell affiliated with the Islamic State Organization (ISIS) in al-Hawl town east of the northeastern Syrian city of Hasakah. The town of al-Hawl is located near Hawl camp, which contains thousands of Syrian and foreign ISIS families, in five separate sectors. The SDF said on its official website that the funding cell consisted of “three terrorists,” who “were responsible for transferring funds financing the ISIS cells” in Hasakah countryside and other areas in north and east Syria. The SDF noted that “weapons, equipment, and documents were confiscated” in the operation. On June 10, the SDF revealed that its special units carried out similar security operation targeting a ISIS member south of Hasakah. However, the extremist militant was killed during clashes with the SDF. In addition, on June 1, the SDF announced that it had arrested four wanted ISIS members, including a leader, in the southern countryside of Hasakah. The areas of northeastern Syria are living in a state of concern following the latest Turkish threats of mounting a new incursion in northern Syria, as any military operation will lay the ground for ISIS to reorganize its ranks.
