Arrest of a Prominent Mercenary Leader in ISIS Known as Abu Ghamid in a Special Operation by the Women’s Protection Units (YPJ) and the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) in Deir Ezzor.
A prominent mercenary leader in ISIS, known as Abu Ghamid, was arrested in a special operation conducted by the Women’s Protection Units (YPJ) and the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) in Deir Ezzor.
The terrorist, Muhammad al-Bakhit, also known as Abu Ghamid, was captured during a successful special operation carried out by YPJ and SDF in Deir Ezzor. Abu Ghamid, who had been involved in terrorist activities for a long time, was taken into custody.
Originating from the Al-Shahil area in Deir Ezzor, Abu Ghamid joined the Free Syrian Army in 2011, during the early changes in the Middle East. He held a leadership position in the Free Syrian Army, actively operating in Azaz, Aleppo, and Idlib. He also fought directly against YPJ and the People’s Protection Units (YPG) in the Al-Yarubiyah area.
Abu Ghamid played a significant role in ISIS’s terrorist activities in the region and in Turkey for years. After the liberation of Deir Ezzor from ISIS, he returned to the Al-Shahil area. Together with another mercenary leader named Ibrahim Al-Hafl, he formed a brigade called the “Bujamaal Revolutionaries Brigade.” This formation, affiliated with ISIS, aimed to incite tensions and strife between the locals and the SDF. His actions led to the martyrdom of many fighters and the destruction of military equipment, among other crimes.
On June 26, while secretly crossing from Syrian regime-controlled areas to Al-Shahil in Deir Ezzor, Abu Ghamid was captured in a special operation by YPJ fighters. At the time of his arrest, he was aiming to incite the local population, especially the tribes, against the SDF, spreading fear and disrupting the existing security and stability in the region.
