Anti-smuggling operation | SDF storms bank of Euphrates and sets fire to oil tanker

Deir Ezzor province: SOHR activists have reported that an SDF patrol has raided Euphrates river bank in Deir Ezzor countryside and set fire to an oil tanker which was to be smuggled from SDF-held areas to the Euphrates river’s opposite bank, which is under the regime’s control, near al-Husseya school in Al-Shaheel city eastern of Deir Ezzor.

It is worth noting that SDF security campaigns on Euphrates river which separates different areas of control aim to put an end to the ongoing smuggling operations to regime-held areas.

On November 19, SOHR sources reported that unknown gunmen attacked “al-Faysal” oil well in the north of al-Busayrah city in the eastern countryside of Deir Ezzor. The attackers set fire to the well, which is located in SDF-held areas, before they escaped.
