(ISIS) claimed, on Monday, its responsibility for two operations against the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) and the Internal Security Forces of North and East Syria (Asayish) in the countryside of Deir ez-Zor Governorate, eastern Syria.
ISIS holy warriors targeted an investigator and a member of the Asayish in the village of Abriha, in al-Busayrah district, eastern Deir ez-Zor, the ISIS-run Amaq news agency said in a statement.
The targeting resulted in the killing of the Asayish investigator and member, according to the source.
In another statement, the Amaq news agency said that ISIS holy warriors targeted a military vehicle belonging to the SDF with machineguns on the road between the villages of Hawi al-Hisan and Meheimideh, resulting in the injury of an SDF fighter who was inside the vehicle.
A military source from the Asayish confirmed that both incidents have occurred.
