DAMASCUS (Dispatches) – The U.S.-backed so-called Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF captured 1200 young men under a forced recruitment plan, in an unprecedentedly vast arrest operation in Hasaka and Raqqa provinces on Sunday.
The SDF carried out its largest arrest operation across the two provinces.
A local source said that the SDF has detained 800 young men in Hassan Darwish base, and sent 400 more to another base in Tal Abyadh.
The source also said that the SDF men are on alert as its measure has enraged civilians in northeastern Syria.
