Coalition, Kurdish forces arrest five ISIS suspects in Rojava: CENTCOM
2022-12-17
[Rudaw] The US Central Command (CENTCOM) announced on Friday that the Kurdish forces and the global coalition against the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
(ISIS) have arrested five suspected operatives of the group in northeast Syria (Rojava) in the last week. Joint operations between both forces were temporarily suspended due to the latest Ottoman Turkish aerial offensive against Kurdish fighters.

...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire...
launched an aerial offensive against the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) in Rojava and the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) in the Kurdistan Region on November 20. This forced the SDF to pause anti-ISIS operations and joint patrols with the US-led coalition troops.

The SDF and the coalition have recently resumed anti-ISIS activities following a decrease in Ottoman Turkish attacks.

"Since partnered operations to defeat ISIS between the US and SDF resumed on December 8, we have conducted 6 partnered operations, resulting in the detention of 5 ISIS operatives involved in planning attacks on detention facilities holding ISIS fighters and on the Al Hol camp," said CENTCOM in a tweet on Friday.

The SDF’s counterterrorism forces have recently announced the arrest of four ISIS suspects, including an emir.

Turkey has also threatened to launch a ground operation against the SDF in the near future. However,
if you can't say something nice about a person some juicy gossip will go well...
the SDF and the US officials have repeatedly warned that a Ottoman Turkish ground offensive in the area would jeopardize hard-earned gains made in the years-long fight against ISIS.
