In addition, a vessel transporting a group of mercenaries was destroyed and 20 mercenaries were wounded, including Marwan Al-Fadel, a leading figure in the Syrian regime-backed ‘Aousoud al-Sharkiya’ militia. The SDF also seized a significant amount of weapons, ammunition and military equipment.<\/p>\n

A mortar shell fired by the mercenaries hit a civilian house, killing four civilians and wounding ten others, the statement said. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) also confirmed that four civilians were killed and others injured as a result of shells fired by regime forces hitting a house. Three SDF fighters were also killed in clashes with the regime-backed mercenaries.<\/p>\n

The Syrian Democratic Forces concluded their statement by reaffirming their unwavering commitment to preserving the security and stability of the region, adding: “Our forces stand resolute in taking decisive measures against anyone who seeks to jeopardize the safety and tranquility of our region.”<\/p>\n
