The sources said, \u201cThe joint patrol was inspecting an anti-ISIS plan in the Homs countryside,\u201d adding that an exchange of fire followed the attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the same sources, the assailant was neutralized after the exchange of gunfire. \u201cThe operation resulted in injuries among several members of the American forces and Syrian security personnel,\u201d the sources said. They added that the wounded were evacuated by helicopters belonging to the International Coalition to the al-Tanf base for medical treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Local sources from Tadmur told North Press that the incident was followed by intense helicopter and warplane activity by the International Coalition over the city and its surroundings. The sources also reported a wide deployment of coalition forces alongside Syrian government security units in the area in the hours following the attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The shooting led to the temporary closure of the Deir ez-Zor\u2013Damascus highway, a key route linking eastern and central Syria, local sources said. Traffic movement reportedly resumed later after security measures were put in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The official Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA) confirmed the incident, stating, \u201cSyrian security forces and American forces were subjected to gunfire near the city of Tadmur during the implementation of a joint field tour.\u201d SANA added that \u201cthe incident resulted in the injury of two members of the Syrian security forces and a number of American personnel.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Authorities have not yet identified the party responsible for the attack or clarified the motives behind it. Security sources said that relevant bodies are continuing to follow developments and investigate the circumstances surrounding the incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Joint operations and coordination between US forces and local partners in Syria are primarily focused on limiting the resurgence of Islamic State cells, particularly in desert and remote areas where the group has previously carried out sporadic attacks. Efforts in this regard have centered on maintaining security along strategic routes and preventing militant movements across central Syria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>By Atoun Jan<\/strong><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>QAMISHLI, Syria (North Press) \u2013 Several members of US forces and Syrian security personnel were injured on Saturday after a joint patrol came under gunfire near the city of Tadmur (Palmyra) in central Syria, according to security sources and official statements.
