Deir ez-Zor province – Syrian Observatory for Human Rights:

SOHR sources say that two civilians from al-Hawaij village in eastern rural Deir al-Zour were injured today after being shot by two unidentified men on a motorcycle in the market of Theban town in eastern rural Deir al-Zour.

Meanwhile, SDF member was injured as a result of a landmine explosion in the village of Al-Boubadran in eastern rural Deir ez-Zor province.

On April 29, SOHR activists reported that the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), backed by International Coalition air support, carried out a raid in the village of Ghriba Sharqiya near the town of Al-Sour in northern countryside of Deir al-Zour. Meanwhile, the campaign continued until late Wednesday night.

Deir ez-Zor countryside is a breeding ground for Islamic State members’ activities where killings and assassinations against SDF members are taking place.

On April 28, SDF, backed by international coalition helicopters, carried out a raid in the town of Jadida al-Akidat in eastern countryside of Deir ez-Zor, during which they arrested an ex-regime soldier specialist in clearing mines and was helping the residents to clear mines in the area.
