After five days of intense fighting, SDF fighters liberated Kobar village, 43 km west of Deir ez-Zor city, on Saturday. Five ISIS members were captured dead and a number of weapons and ammunition were seized by SDF.

SDF forces also seized a bomb-laden vehicle and two other vehicles with heavy machine guns.

About 600 villagers were rescued and transferred to secure zones behind the front lines.

Right after the liberation of the village, Syrian army started to attack SDF positions with mortar shells. SDF did not report any causalities after the attack.
