ISIS claims targeting SDF military vehicle in Syria’s Hasakah
DEIR EZ-ZOR, Syria (North Press) – On Friday, Islamic State (ISIS) claimed responsibility for targeting a military vehicle of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) in a town south of Hasakah, a city northeast Syria.
ISIS-run Amaq news agency said in a statement that the group’s militants targeted a military vehicle belonging to the SDF on al-Khorafi route south of Hasakah with machineguns.
The attack claimed the lives of two SDF fighters and wounded a third in addition to causing damages to the vehicle, according to the statement.
Although the SDF, supported by the US-led Global Coalition, launches intensive security campaigns in areas in North and East Syria, ISIS activities are still growing in the region.
On Jan. 31, ISIS claimed responsibility for targeting an SDF checkpoint in the town of al-Busayrah east of Deir ez-Zor.
