Fighter jets and helicopters participated in the exercises, underscoring a growing U.S. military presence in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A local source told North Press that the exercises followed recent reinforcements of military and logistical supplies to U.S. bases in Deir ez-Zor. The move suggests a heightened state of alert, as tensions remain high between U.S.-backed forces and Iranian-backed militias operating west of the Euphrates River.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While the Coalition has not issued an official statement, past exercises have been part of ongoing efforts to enhance the SDF\u2019s combat readiness and deter security threats in northeast Syria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Deir ez-Zor remains a volatile region, with multiple actors vying for influence. The SDF, backed by approximately 900-2,000 U.S. troops, controls the Euphrates&#8217; eastern bank, while the Syrian government forces hold the western bank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The region has witnessed frequent clashes and drone attacks, particularly following escalations in the Red Sea and broader Middle East conflicts. The latest drills signal continued U.S. commitment to supporting the SDF.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The increased military activity suggests that U.S. forces are reinforcing their presence in eastern Syria amid ongoing threats from both ISIS sleeper cells. With tensions persisting, observers will be watching whether these exercises are a precautionary measure or a prelude to further military action in the region.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Kardo Roj DEIR EZ-ZOR, Syria (North Press) \u2013 The U.S.-led Global Coalition and the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) conducted joint military exercises in eastern Syria on Tuesday night, utilizing live ammunition and air support, according to sources close to the SDF.
