x2 sources: US military forces launched a joint raid with #Syria gov't forces (formerly part of the 'Syrian Free Army' in al-Tanf) on an #ISIS compound in Jabal al-Bishri in western Deir ez Zour on Weds. Unclear if any #ISIS killed/captured, but electronics/documents taken.

According to my sources (since copied, uncited, by multiple media outlets), 12 major #ISIS plots have been foiled in #Syria since #Assad fell 6 months ago, most thanks for US intel sharing. Targets have included Shia & Christians, and returning IDPs. foreignpolicy.com/2025/06/05/syr…
