Middle East Monitor: US officer and SDF fighters killed in Daesh ambush
An officer in the US army and two fighters from the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) have been killed in an ambush in Syria’s eastern province of Deir Ez-Zor.
The gunmen are reported to have been from the Daesh terrorist group.
The ambush took place in the town of Al-Sur, the state-run Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA) tweeted yesterday.
