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.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says Israel is establishing a new security corridor across the Gaza Strip.

In a statement on Wednesday, he described it as the Morag corridor, using the name of a Jewish settlement that once stood between Rafah and Khan Younis, suggesting it would run between the two southern cities.

His comments came as Palestinian officials at hospitals inside Gaza said Israeli strikes overnight and into Wednesday had killed more than 40 people, nearly a dozen of them children.

The Israeli government has long maintained a buffer zone just inside Gaza along its security fence and has greatly expanded since the war against Hamas began in 2023. Israel says the buffer zone is needed for its security, while Palestinians view it as a land grab that further shrinks the narrow coastal territory, home to around 2 million people.
