Disputes over “brothel” | Armed clashes erupt between 4th Division and National Defence

Deir Ezzor province: Armed clashes erupted between members of the regime-backed National Defence on one hand and the security forces of the 4th Division on the other hand in Al-Arfy neighbourhood in Deir Ezzor city, due to disputes over a brothel.

On the same context, the “National Defence” brought military reinforcements to the neighbourhood and closed all roads leading to it amid ongoing tension.

Yesterday, violent clashes with heavy weapons erupted between Syrian members of the Iranian-backed Fatimyon militias on one hand and members of the regime-backed “National Defence” on the other hand in Al-Bo Kamal desert in eastern Deir Ezzor countryside, causing several casualties among both sides, amid military mobilization in the desert.
This came after negotiations between the regime and dignitaries of tribes in the desert that lasted a week, to approve on opening the desert in 55 kilometres of depth for herding sheep and carry out agricultural work in the desert, while the Iranian-backed militias rejected the resolution.
On the same context, regime forces brought military reinforcements towards the desert, coming for Al-Bo Kamal city to support the “National Defence”, especially after the Iranian-backed militias led by “Al-Haj Hussein” refused to send reinforcements to support the regime.
