Daesh

Syria claimed Thursday a suicide bomber who killed a security forces member in Aleppo on New Year's Eve was in the Islamic State group (ISIS, ISIL or Daesh), which planned attacks on churches and gatherings.

The United States military has announced it has killed or captured about 25 Daesh fighters in a wave of attacks over nine days in Syria.

Seven Turkish police officers have been wounded in a shootout during an operation against alleged Daesh (ISIS or ISIL) fighters, local media reported.

The head of the US military’s Middle East-based Central Command, Brad Cooper, has said that the United States is working with Syrian forces to carry out operations against Daesh, highlighting the collaboration between Washington and Damascus.
