DEIR EZZOR, SYRIA (8:05 P.M.) – Minutes ago, the U.S. Air Force struck the Syrian Arab Army’s (SAA) positions in the western countryside of the Deir Ezzor Governorate, local activists are reporting.

The U.S. Air Force reportedly attacked the Syrian Arab Army while the latter was attacking the Islamic State of Iraq and Al-Sham (ISIS) near the Thardeh Mountains in western Deir Ezzor.

If true, this will be the second time during this war that the U.S. Air Force has attacked the Syrian Arab Army in the Deir Ezzor.

Al-Masdar is attempting to verify these local reports with the Syrian Arab Army in Deir Ezzor. .
