| [ALMASDARNEWS] Fierce festivities broke out between members of the Abu Khamis tribe and U.S.-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) this afternoon following the death of a 40-year-old resident of al-Mansoura. According to local reports, members of the Syrian Democratic Forces opened fire on Hamdan al-Zein after he refused conscription into their group. Al-Zein reportedly succumbed to the wounds he sustained as a result of the gunshots; this sparked outrage amongst the Abu Khamis tribe and several residents of al-Mansoura. Following the death of al-Zein, the enraged residents of al-Mansoura began burning the SDF’s checkpoints and attacking installations. |
