(Zaman Al Wasl)- Dozen of civilains were wounded Tuesday when the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces opened fire to disperse outraged crowd near an oil field in Deir Ezzor province, local activists said.
The tension erupted when a civilian was beaten by members of the Kurdish-led alliance. In response, a group of tribesmen tried to set fire in an oil well controlled by the SDF in the eastern bank of Euphrates River.
Eastern Syria was mostly held by Daesh until last year, when two rival military campaigns by the SDF and regime army swept it from most of its territory, leaving only remnants in remote pockets of the desert.
The campaign by the regime army, backed by Russia, Iran and Shiite militias including Hezbollah, operated mostly on the west side of the Euphrates river.
