Unidentified persons injure SDF members in Syria’s Deir ez-Zor

DEIR EZ-ZOR, Syria (North Press) – On Wednesday, four members of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) were injured after unidentified persons targeted an SDF vehicle in the town of al-Shuhail in the Deir ez-Zor countryside.

“Masked persons using RPKs fired at a vehicle of an SDF commander as it crossed the main road in the town of al-Shuhail, east of Deir ez-Zor,” a military source told North Press.

“Two commanders and two members were injured of varying severity. They were all transferred to the hospital for treatment,” the source added.

The eastern countryside of Deir ez-Zor has witnessed an improvement in the security situation in recent days, unlike the previous period which witnessed assassinations almost every day.

On February 18, unidentified persons shot a young man in al-Zar neighborhood in al-Shuhail, wounding him with two bullets, without knowing the cause.
