ISIS resurgence: gunmen attack ambulance carrying SDF members in rural Deir ez-Zor

SOHR sources say that gunmen believed to be Islamic State cells attacked an ambulance carrying SDF fighters on al-Omar oil field road in rural Deir ez-Zor. The gunmen chased the ambulance targeting it with their machine guns, injuring the driver with a gunshot.

On April 5, SOHR sources reported that unknown assailants believed to be Islamic State cells carried out an attack with machine guns on a school housing SDF members, which was used as headquarters, in Sweidan Jazira village. Clashes took place this afternoon between members of SDF and the gunmen who fled on their motorcycles following a resistance by the headquarters’ member. Clashes resulted in injuring four civilians living near the school.
