(Zaman Al Wasl)- Three suspected ISIS fighters were captured by the U.S.-led coalition and allied Kurdish forces in eastern Deir Ezzor province late on Wednesday, source told Zaman al-Wasl Thursday.
The U.S. helicopters made an airdrop on the village of al-Jasemi and arrested three men, from the same family, relative said
The US-led forces conducted dozen of airdrops on former ISIS-held areas since the fall of Raqqa in October 2017.
There are now about 2000 U.S. troops in Syria that initially came to train and support the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Force (SDF) in the anti-ISIS campaign.
The SDF has been the main partner of the U.S.-led coalition against Islamic State in Syria, helping drive the jihadists out of swathes of northern and eastern Syria.
Since the Syrian revolution erupted in 2011, more than 560,000 people have been killed, and more than 6 million people have been displaced.
