SOUTHWEST ASIA -- The Maghawir al-Thowra, a Combined Joint Task Force
Operation Inherent Resolve partner force in Syria, detained nine Islamic State
of Iraq and Syria fighters who were traveling through the 55-kilometer
deconfliction zone located in southern Syria, OIR officials announced today.
The MaT interdicted the terrorists, believed to be traveling
from southwestern Syria, while conducting a unilateral counter-ISIS patrol.
MaT members conduct daily counter-ISIS patrols to provide
security and stability within the DCZ to support coalition forces and Operation
Inherent Resolve in the mission to defeat ISIS.
An OIR commander described the interdiction as "another
example of the professional and effective work conducted by the OIR partner
force. This further demonstrates their commitment to ensuring the defeat of
ISIS in Syria."
