Deir Ezzor | Iranian-backed local groups shoot down “SDF” drone in eastern countryside

Deir Ezzor province: An explosion was heard in Deir Ezzor countryside, resulting from the Iranian-backed local gunmen shooting down a “drone” launched by SDF, as it was shot down in the airspace of Thiban town in the eastern countryside of Deir Ezzor.
Earlier today, SOHR reported that fighters of Iranian-backed local groups, including members of “Ibrahim Al-Hifel” groups and National Defence, have been provided with light and medium weapons, following a visit by the so-called “Abu Hasan Al-Irani” to “Bassam Al-Settam” in Al-Mayadeen city. The headquarters of the Al-Bakir fighters is located in Al-Hamidiyah neighbourhood in Deir Ezzor city, within the areas controlled by the regime forces and Iranian militias.
This visit came after the graduation of 35 local fighters from “Al-Imam Al-Sadiq” camp located near Al-Hamdan Airport in Al-Bokamal desert, where they underwent a 30-day training course, which included training on the use of light weapons, IEDs and RPG launchers.
