Deir ez-Zor, Syria (North Press) – The attack on al-Sina’a prison in Hasakah city, northeast Syria, gave a moral impetus to the sleeper cells of the Islamic State Organization (ISIS), which increased its operations, a military commander of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) said on Monday. On January 20, ISIS sleeper cells carried out a series of attacks on al-Sina’a prison, where thousands of ISIS members are detained, to break their ISIS inmates fellows out of the prison, which led the residents of the neighboring areas to flee and take shelter in mosques. “The recent period has witnessed an increase in the pace of operations as the level of daring of ISIS operations has risen to the point of attacking military units,” Ibrahim al-Jassem, the commander of the SDF’s Hajin Military Council, said. Since January 22, in conjunction with the attack on al-Sina’a prison, ISIS has claimed 20 operations against the SDF and one against civilians in the eastern countryside of Deir ez-Zor. Al-Jassem added that ISIS is not eliminated and has the ability to move, and this requires the help of countries to ensure its final defeat. The countryside of Deir ez-Zor has been witnessing an increase in cases of killing of SDF members, the employees of the Autonomous Administration, tribal notables and civilians, most of which have been claimed by ISIS. Meanwhile, SDF has intensified its security operations in the countryside of Deir ez-Zor to pursue ISIS sleeper cells. Reporting by Anwar al-Midan |
