Media Center of SDF issued a statement regarding the allegations made by media outlets affiliated with Damascus government about SDF operations against ISIS cells in northern Deir al-Zor countryside, and the statement reads:

"SANA" news agency, affiliated to Damascus government, published false news about our forces operations against ISIS cells, as it was reported by SANA that our forces "raids several houses in Abu al-Natel town in northern Deir al-Zor countryside with the support of international coalition helicopters and arrested a number of the people".

We confirm that this news is not true and our forces have not carried out any operation during the past few days. The agency also claimed that 3 of our fighters martyred in an attack carried out by terrorist groups that Damascus authority media, called it"Popular Resistance Factions" on Al-Omar oil field road east of Deir al-Zor. We confirm that this news is also false, and our fighters were not subjected to any attack in the mentioned area".

The statement added: "SANA agency's adoption of terrorist operations targeting the region, and confirms the efforts of those in charge of it to take revenge from the people of NES, who strongly rejected the so-called "reconciliation" operations that Damascus authority was promoting during the last period in liberated Deir al-Zor region. Also, SANA agency’s premeditated of ISIS cells members arrested by our forces as if they were civilians. And that confirms the attempts to mislead public opinion and its inability to bear the successes of our forces in protecting the people and the region from the danger of ISIS.

After a few days, "SANA" agency will end a decade of "false news" that it published over last years against north and east Syria liberated from ISIS terrorism. And it seems that agency's management and editor-in-chief are tempted to publish such news in an attempt to attract terrorist cells that trying to undermine stability and security in the region.
