According to SOHR, the SDF launched a major campaign to clear their ranks from "corruption" following the events that transpired in the al-Sina'a prison in Hasaka around two weeks ago, when ISIS attempted to free thousands of its hardcore gunnies in an audacious, yet foiled attack.

SOHR added that the SDF intends to carry out further arrests against their own affiliates following the attempted prison siege in Hasaka on January 20.
ISIS attempted to break thousands of its affiliates and members out of al-Sina'a prison, known to locals as Ghweran prison. The SDF arrested 26 people who were "active in smuggling and transferring detainees out of Ghweran prison," it said in a tweet on Sunday.

Abdi further added that in these areas, ISIS are "given training camps and re-branded as popular resistance or opposition factions."
