Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) Press Center announced its balance sheet of the actions and operations against ISIS in 2024. 

 

The statement reads: "During 2024, our Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) achieved significant successes in combating ISIS terrorist cells. These efforts contributed to a substantial reduction in the terrorist threat at both the local and international levels.

 

In 2024, our SDF conducted numerous successful security and military operations in close coordination with the International Coalition to Defeat ISIS. These operations resulted in the capture of hundreds of terrorists, including high-ranking officials such as “emirs” and leaders. These individuals were responsible for providing intelligence, weapons, military equipment, and financial support to terrorist cells.

 

The vigilance of our forces also led to the detection and neutralization of numerous improvised explosive devices (IEDs), effectively preventing explosions and acts of sabotage. Furthermore, the SDF conducted extensive combing operations to eliminate ISIS hideouts, with a particular focus on the Syrian-Iraqi border, desert regions, and the vicinity of the al-Hol camp.

 

Furthermore, our SDF successfully disrupted environments conducive to ISIS activity, effectively preventing ISIS access to the local populace to extort them. This contributed to a significant improvement in the security situation for people in hotspots. Additionally, the SDF strengthened security measures around prisons, effectively preventing ISIS cells from infiltrating these facilities.

 

The outcome of security and military operations conducted by our forces against ISIS’s mercenaries in 2024:

 

Number of operations: 98  

 

Number of ISIS terrorists eliminated: 17, including 6 leaders

 

Number of ISIS terrorists captured: 278  

 

Weapons and ammunition seized: Significant quantities of weapons, ammunition, and materials used in the manufacture of explosives and IEDs

 

Number of ISIS terrorist operations: 113

 

Number of ISIS terrorist operations thwarted by our SDF: 43 

 

Our Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), having sacrificed thousands of martyrs and sustained numerous casualties in their determined effort to liberate the region and the world from the threat of ISIS terrorism and dismantle its so-called state, reaffirm their unwavering commitment to combating this terrorist organization and remain steadfast in their resolve to cooperate with the International Coalition forces in the fight against ISIS, despite facing ongoing aggression from the Turkish occupation and its mercenaries in northern and eastern Syria, and enduring escalating Turkish threats that facilitate the resurgence of ISIS cells and other extremist groups."
