Security campaign | SDF storm river crossings and dismantle pipes used for smuggling oil

Syria Democratic Forces have stormed river crossings in Theban town in Deir Ezzor countryside where they dismantled pipes linking between the two banks of the Euphrates river used for smuggling oil to regime-held areas.

 

Yesterday, Observatory activists said that Syria Democratic Forces (SDF) imposed curfew on motorcycles in Al-Shuhayl town and Jadidat Bakara village in the eastern countryside of Deir Ezzor, along with burning some motorcycles. This development coincided with the deployment of large number of SDF members at checkpoints along the Euphrates river in the region.

 

On the other hand, SDF dug trenches and erected soil barriers on frontlines with regime forces and Iranian-backed militias near Al-Salehiyah. Meanwhile, SDF continued transporting ferries, which had used for smuggling goods, after they had taken over river crossings in the town according to an agreement reached on Monday between SDF and individuals in charge of these crossings.
