Furthermore, our SDF successfully disrupted environments conducive to ISIS activity, effectively preventing ISIS access to the local populace to extort them. This contributed to a significant improvement in the security situation for people in hotspots. Additionally, the SDF strengthened security measures around prisons, effectively preventing ISIS cells from infiltrating these facilities.
