Armed attack | Unknown gunmen open fire on SDF military vehicle in southern Al-Hasakah

Syrian Observatory activists have reported that unknown gunmen believed to be ISIS cells opened machinegun fire, in the early hours of Sunday morning, on a military vehicle of Syria Democratic Forces on the road to Al-Kharafi in southern Al-Hasakah. No casualties have been reported.

 

This attack comes as a part of the deteriorating security situation throughout SDF-controlled areas.

 

On Friday, SOHR activists documented the death of a civilian in Gharibah Sharqiyyah village, near Al-Suwar town in north Deir Ezzor countryside, as unknown gunmen shot him in front of his house.

 

On the other hand, clashes erupted between masked gunmen and residents in Al-Busayrah city in the eastern countryside of Deir Ezzor, before the gunmen escaped. The gunmen were believed to be ISIS cells as they asked the residents to pay “zakat”.
