A violent explosion rocked at dawn of today the 15th of October 2017, the leadership area of al-Bakkara Youth Gathering of Deir Ezzor Military Council and the Syria Democratic Forces, in the southern countryside of Al-Hasaka, and the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights learned that the explosion caused by a person who exploded him self up by using a booby trapped motorbike, targeted the headquarters of al-Bakkara Youth Gathering which is led by Yasser Al-Dahla, in Ba’ajah area in the southern countryside of Al-Hasakah city, and the explosion caused the fall of wounded, and there was no information about the death of fighters as a result of this explosion, while the suicide bomber who exploded him self up was killed.
And the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights published on the 3rd of October 2017, that the military police of the Syria Democratic Forces, released Yasser Al-Dahla, the leader of al-Bakkara Youth Gathering of Deir Ezzor Military Council of the SDF, 5 days after arresting him, in which the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights published yesterday the 2nd of October 2017, that the tension prevail among the forces of “Jazeera Storm” Operation, which was launched on the 7th of September 2017, in order to control east Euphrates, northwestern countryside of Deir Ezzor from the side of the east of Euphrates River and the southern countryside of Al-Hasakah, where they managed to control large areas in the northern countryside of Deir Ezzor and reached an area close to the banks opposite to Deir Ezzor city, al-Sor town and Koniko gas plant and field which is the largest plant and gas field in Syria, and other areas of the eastern Euphrates, reliable sources informed to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights that the tension came after the arrest of Yasser al-Dahla by the military police of SDF, Yasser al-Dahla is the leader of al-Bakkara Youth Gathering and he previously defected from the Syrian Elite Forces and joined Deir Ezzor Military Council of the Syria Democratic Forces.
Leading sources confirmed to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights that Yasser Al-Dahla remains in detention for the fourth consecutive day, and leadership sources in Deir Ezzor Military Council attributed the reason of arresting Yasser al-Dahla to “military excesses he had related to the lack of effective participation in the ongoing military operations east of Euphrates and the northern countryside of Deir Ezzor, and the lack of military discipline, as well as the lack of participants of the forces of al-Bakkara Youth Gathering in “Jazeera Storm” Operation, in addition to violations related to stealing civilian property from the areas which were controlled by the Gathering, and that the Dahla was arrested with 4 other leaders and members of the Gathering by the military discipline of Deir Ezzor military Council”
These accusations against Yasser al-Dahla were met by denial by those who are close to al-Dahla of al-Bakkara Youth Gathering , where they informed the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights that the arrests were made against the backdrop of “the desire of those defected of “Euphrates Shield” Operation to join al-Bakkara Youth Gathering , in addition to the desire of others to join the ranks of al-Bakkara Youth Gathering , and because Deir Ezzor Military Council did not allow the emerge of a military figure, and that al-Dahla was threatened by halting the military action with him”. People close to the Gathering accused Deir Ezzor Military Council and the Military Police of “fabricating malicious charges against Yasser Al-Dahla and those detained with him”, where they fear “the outbreak of a tribal disorder between Deir Ezzor Military Council and al-Bakkara Youth Gathering”
