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.

Powerful Israeli airstrikes targeted central Beirut on Saturday, resulting in a large number of fatalities and injuries and destroying an eight-story building, Lebanon's National News Agency reported.

Footage broadcast by TV stations showed at least one destroyed building and several others badly damaged around it in the Basta neighborhood.

Israel used bunker buster bombs in the strike, leaving a deep crater, said NNA. Beirut smelled strongly of explosives hours after the attack.
The blasts shook the capital around 4 a.m.

NNA said at least five bombs were dropped in the attack.
It marked the fourth Israeli airstrike this week targeting a central area of Beirut, where the bulk of Israel's attacks have targeted the Hezbollah-controlled southern suburbs.

On Sunday an Israeli airstrike killed Hezbollah's media relations chief Mohammad Afif in the Ras al-Nabaa district of central Beirut.

The Israeli military did not issue a warning for Basta's residents to evacuate prior to the strike and did not immediately issue a statement on it.

Israel has killed several Hezbollah leaders in airstrikes on Beirut's southern suburbs.

Meanwhile, heavy ground fighting between Israeli forces and Hezbollah militants was ongoing in southern Lebanon as Israeli troops have pushed farther from the border.
