In a statement, the SDF Media Center announced that their special forces, the "TOL Military Operations Teams," dismantled an ISIS mercenary cell following a precise security operation in Raqqa, leading to the arrest of three cell members.

The statement read as follows: "Our forces, the Syrian Democratic Forces, continue their security and military operations to pursue cells of the terrorist organization ISIS across all areas of North and East Syria.

Yesterday, Wednesday, our TOL Military Operations Teams carried out a precise security operation targeting the dismantling of an ISIS terrorist cell in the city of Raqqa. After gathering comprehensive intelligence on the cell's terrorist activities, our forces identified their hideout, imposed a tight security cordon, and successfully arrested three terrorists belonging to the cell.

The dismantled cell had carried out multiple terrorist operations targeting our forces, internal security forces, and civilians. It also sought to create chaos and instability by conducting acts of sabotage against public and private facilities.

Despite being engaged in repelling attacks from the Turkish occupation and its mercenaries, our forces remain unwavering in their pursuit of ISIS elements and cells. We will not allow them to reorganize or carry out terrorist acts in our regions."
