ANKARA (AA) - Two so-called senior members of the Daesh/ISIS terror group were caught in Operation Peace-Spring zone in northern Syria with the intelligence support of the Turkish National Intelligence Organization.

The terrorist organization members, Ziyad Al-Hajji, code-named "Abu Bakir Al-Kurayshi," and Musa Muhammad Al-Habib, code-named "Abu Al-Baraa," were detained by local security forces affiliated with the Syrian National Army.

Since 2016, Ankara has launched a trio of successful anti-terror operations across its border in northern Syria to prevent the formation of a terror corridor and enable the peaceful settlement of residents: Euphrates Shield (2016), Olive Branch (2018), and Peace Spring (2019).
