Internal Security Forces General Command - Women's Unit launches campaign in Roj camp

The General Command of the Internal Security Forces - Women announced the launch of a security campaign, supported by the Women's Protection Units (YPJ), targeting ISIS mercenary cells in the Roj camp.

In a statement issued today inside the Roj camp, east of the city of Derik in the Jazira Canton, the General Command said, "In light of the security developments and repeated attacks witnessed in the region in general, and NE Syria in particular, the ISIS terrorist cells have exploited this circumstance in an attempt to reorganize their ranks and implement criminal plans aimed at undermining security and stability. Our forces have monitored dangerous movements by these cells, particularly towards camps housing families of ISIS members, most notably the Roj camp."

Over the past few months, the camp has witnessed several attempts by ISIS cells to infiltrate and threaten the lives of its residents. These cells have cold-bloodedly killed a woman and a child, assaulted several other women and children, and threatened those trying to rid themselves from the extremist ideology. These actions are part of ISIS's ongoing efforts to activate its sleeper cells inside and outside the camp.

In the face of these threats, our forces have carried out several operations that have thwarted a number of terrorist plots and inflicted heavy losses on ISIS cells in their attempts to sow chaos and destabilize security.

Based on our responsibility to protect our people and our firm commitment to combating terrorism, we, the Women's Internal Security Forces, with the support of the Women's Protection Units (YPJ), announce the launch of a special security campaign within our security and military forces, targeting ISIS cells. This campaign aims to search the Roj camp and pursue sleeper cells and their collaborators.

This campaign is a continuation of our ongoing struggle against all ISIS terrorist attempts and an embodiment of our firm determination to dry up the sources of terrorism and ensure security and stability for all components of our society.

We, the Women's Internal Security Forces, affirm that this campaign will not cease until the last terrorist cell threatening the lives of innocents is eradicated. Protecting our people and establishing security will remain our priority.
