"As a result of the SDF's pause on all counter-ISIS operations, CENTCOM forces have also paused all partnered operations against ISIS in Syria," Col. Joe Buccino, a CENTCOM spokesperson, said in a statement shared with Insider.Reuters first reported Friday the news that the SDF had stopped its joint operations with the US and its allies because of the recent Turkish campaign.US officials earlier this week confirmed that the country's military had reduced the number of joint patrols it conducts with the SDF, while also urging a deescalation in tensions.And we also value the partnership that we've shared with the SDF since the beginning of the counter-ISIS campaign, now known as the defeat-ISIS mission," Ryder said Thursday."When you look at what the SDF did, and continues to do in terms of preventing the reconstitution of, again, a very dangerous terrorist group, ISIS," he continued, "it is something that we should all be very thankful for."
