(Zaman Al Wasl)- Two members of the US-backed forces were killed on Wednesday by unknown assailants in eastern Deir Ezzor province, local activists said.
The attack on the Syrian Democratic Forces took place in the village of al-Zer east of al-Basira town.
A child boy lost his life in the Daesh suspected attack, according to activist Taj al-Allow.
In response, the SDF waged arrest campaign in the village, imposing curfew.
Three more SDF fighters were killed on Monday in similar attack in the town of al-Huwaij, al-Allow said.
This week, the SDF backed by the US-led coalition airstrikes reached the town of al-Hajeen. Senior Daesh fighters have withdrawn to the town of Almu Hassan.
The YPG-led forces have also made gains against Daesh east of Markada town, taking three villages.
Five towns are still under Daesh control in the eastern bank of Euphrates River. The tiny territory has endured to major offensive by Kurdish forces since June.
The SDF, which the Kurdish YPG militia spearheads, has been the main partner of the U.S.-led coalition against Islamic State in Syria, helping drive the jihadists out of swathes of northern and eastern Syria last year.
