DEIR EZ-ZOR, Syria (North Press) – Unidentified gunmen targeted on Monday night a military post of the Syrian Democratic forces (SDF) in a town in the eastern countryside of Deir ez-Zor Governorate, eastern Syria, with rockets and machine guns.
A military source in the town of al-Busayrah said that unidentified gunmen targeted the SDF post on the bank of the Euphrates River in the village of al-Zerr with three RPG-7 shells.
