Syria Kurds say they arrested more than 100 Daesh suspects

QAMISHLI, 08 January 2023, (TON): The Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces said they had arrested more than 100 “terrorists” in an eight-day operation against Daesh militants.

Kurdish-led forces launched the sweep dubbed Operation Al-Jazeera Thunderbolt last week, after thwarting an Daesh attempt to free fellow militants from prison in Raqqa, the extremist group’s former Syrian stronghold.

The Syrian Kurds have been seeking to underline their value as a partner to the West in its campaign against Daesh as NATO ally Turkiye keeps up its threats to launch a new cross-border assault against territory under their control.
