  • The Daesh has been trying to stage a comeback in the Middle East, the West and Asia

CAIRO: The Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces said on Sunday that five of its members had been killed during an attack by Daesh militants on a checkpoint in eastern Syria’s Deir el-Zor on July 31.
The Daesh claimed responsibility for the attack in a statement on Monday.
The SDF was the main fighting force allied to the United States in Syria during fighting that defeated Daesh in 2019 after the group declared a caliphate across swathes of Syria and Iraq.
The Daesh has been trying to stage a comeback in the Middle East, the West and Asia. Deir el-Zor city was captured by Daesh in 2014, but the Syrian army retook it in 2017.
