The Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA), citing an unnamed security source, reported that four internal security members were killed in an ISIL attack on the al-Sabahiya checkpoint west of Raqqa, according to Anadolu Agency.
SANA said the attack targeted a checkpoint belonging to the Internal Security Forces in the city, after which military police units were deployed to secure the area.
No immediate comment was issued by HTS-led regime’s authorities.
ISIL sleeper cells are active in the region, which the terrorist group gained control over in 2014.
The area later fell under the control of US-backed SDF forces before the Syrian Army recently regained control of the region as part of an agreement.
