Days after the Coalition’s visit to “Civil Council of Central Region” | SDF storms several houses in Deir ez-Zor countryside, killing one person and arresting others

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

SOHR activists say that the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) raided a house in the village of Al-Hajjna in the eastern countryside of Deir ez-Zor, inhabited by displaced people, and killed one person, while two others managed to escape to an unknown destination, after clashes with machine guns between them and members of SDF.

Meanwhile, SDF’s special forces launched a campaign of arrests in different areas in Deir ez-Zor countryside, arresting a number of people, including a former member of the Free Army who fought previously against the “Islamic State”, after raiding his house in the village of Al-Subha in the eastern countryside of Deir ez-Zor. Sources have also reported the arrest of cells and members of the Islamic State.

On March 9, reliable sources reported that a delegation of the International Coalition paid a visit to the “Civil Council of the Central Region” in Al-Busayrah city in the eastern countryside of Deir Ezzor. The delegation, which was escorted by a group of Asayish and SDF, checked the council’s working mechanism. It is worth noting that several armoured vehicles came to the area from Koniko oil field, amid flight by US helicopters over the region. Also, a military patrol was conducted in Al-Busayrah and Al-Shuhayl in eastern Deir Ezzor, and it is supposed to head to Hajin, Al-Hawaij and Al-Omar oil field.
