“We reiterate our commitment to carry out their duties, maintain the security and stability of the region, and respond to all attacks targeting our fighters and our people,” said the SDF.

The Media Center of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) released a statement announcing the outcome of an infiltration attempt by Syrian-backed mercenaries.

“Our forces foiled an infiltration attempt by the Syrian regime-backed mercenaries on the towns located on the eastern bank of the Euphrates River (Dhiban, Al-Kishma, and Al-Sha’afa). Our forces forced them to retreat to the other bank of the Euphrates after inflicting casualties and injuries among them,” said the SDF statement on Wednesday.

The statement added: “Our SDF forces reiterate their commitment to carry out their duties, maintain the security and stability of the region, and respond to all attacks targeting our fighters and our people.”
