DEIR EZ-ZOR, Syria (North Press) – On Monday, a member of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) was killed by unidentified gunmen in the western countryside of Deir ez-Zor, east Syria.

The Syrian Democratic Forces have been intensifying their security campaigns on the villages and towns of the eastern countryside of Deir ez-Zor to pursue ISIS cells.
