Since this morning, the villages and towns of Shuhail, Dhiban, and Abu Hardoub in the eastern countryside of Deir ez-Zor have witnessed targeting by armed groups.

In response of the Deir ez-Zor Military Council, to target the armed groups that crossed the Euphrates River and reached the eastern countryside of Deir ez-Zor, from the opposite bank controlled by the forces of the Damascus government, violent clashes broke out and are still continuing.

Armed groups, regardless of their affiliation, are trying to target the eastern countryside of Deir ez-Zor, following the "Security enhancment" operation launched by the Syrian Democratic Forces in the region against ISIS mercenary sleeper cells, and against drug dealers and traffickers on August 27 of last year.
