Local sources said that a leader of the (SDF) militia and his guard were killed in a shoot-out at the car in which they were traveling near the Euphrates River in the city of Shehail in the eastern countryside of Deir Ezzour.
In a separate attack, five SDF militiamen were wounded as a result of their checkpoint being targeted with machine-gun fire in the vicinity of the town of Abu Hamam, to the east of Deir Ezzour.
The attacks on the SDF militiamen continue in the regions of the Syrian Jazira, the last of which was two days ago when a militia member was killed by shooting him in the garage of the city of Al-Busairah in the eastern countryside of Deir Ezzour.
