Gunmen kill two SDF fighters in Deir ez-Zor
DEIR EZ-ZOR, Syria (North Press) – Unidentified gunmen killed on Saturday two fighters of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) in eastern Deir ez-Zor, eastern Syria.
A military source from the SDF told North Press that unknown gunmen on a motorcycle targeted an SDF vehicle with a machine gun at the entrance to the city of Hajin in the eastern Deir ez-Zor countryside.
The source confirmed that the attack resulted in the killing of both fighters, while the perpetrators fled the scene.
Following the incident, SDF units cordoned off the area and launched an investigation to track down those responsible.
The attack came just one day after the SDF announced the arrest of several ISIS cell members in the same region, during a joint operation with the U.S.-led Global Coalition.
