A security operation against the organization’s cells
The Syrian Interior Ministry confirmed that security forces carried out an operation that dismantled cells linked to ISIS.
The operation also resulted in the arrest of a prominent ISIS leader,
as well as a number of other members, without disclosing their identities or the locations of the operation.

Continued pursuit of ISIS elements
Syrian authorities continue to conduct security operations targeting remnants of ISIS,

and carrying out attacks targeting civilians or security and military institutions.
