SDF Says Shared Intelligence with Washington

Kurdish military sources revealed that the “Syrian Democratic Forces” (SDF) shared intelligence in the airdrop operation carried out by the US-led International Coalition in the city of Idlib in northwestern Syria.

The operation resulted in the killing of ISIS leader Abu Ibrahim al-Hashimi al-Qurashi.

The sources confirmed that the SDF command exchanged intelligence information and important details with US forces and the International Coalition Operations Room.

The SDF had gathered the intelligence through investigations and interrogations with members of the terrorist organization ISIS.

These members had launched a massive attack on Al-Sina’a prison in Al-Ghwairan neighborhood on the 20th of January and were arrested alive by SDF units.

Sources stated that SDF security services and anti-terror units had interrogated them for a whole week, and obtained highly classified information and details about the whereabouts of the organization's leader, Abu Ibrahim al-Qurashi, and his movements in the countryside of Idlib, northwest of Syria.

The SDF later exchanged this information with the International Coalition’s operations room.

On October 26, 2019, SDF forces participated in intelligence work with the International Coalition forces and the US army in the killing of the former ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.

The World Health Organization says nearly half of the attacks on health care in Lebanon have been deadly since the Middle East conflict erupted in October last year, the highest such rate anywhere in the world.

The UN health agency says 65 out of 137, or 47%, of recorded “attacks on health care” in Lebanon over that time period have proven fatal to at least one person, and often many more.

WHO’s running global tally counts attacks, whether deliberate or not, that affect places like hospitals, clinics, medical transport, and warehouses for medical supplies, as well as medics, doctors, nurses and the patients they treat.

Nearly half of attacks on health care in Lebanon since last October and the majority of deaths occurred since an intensified Israeli military campaign began against Hezbollah in the country two months ago.

The health agency said 226 health workers and patients have been killed and 199 injured in Lebanon between Oct. 7, 2023 and this Monday.
