In the afternoon hours of today, an ISIS terrorist cell launched an attack with machine guns on one of the SDF's military points in the town of Al-Bahra, in the eastern countryside of Deir ez-Zor, the SDF Press Center reported.

According to the statement, clashes ensued between SDF fighters and the attackers, resulting in the martyrdom of two SDF fighters. The members of the terrorist cell fled the scene on motorcycles.

“This attack is part of a broader escalation by the terrorist organization against our forces in northern and eastern Syria, taking advantage of the ongoing chaos in the country. Our forces reaffirm their commitment to pursuing these terrorist cells until they are completely dismantled and the security and stability of the region are secured,” SDF stated.
