An unidentified local gang fired two artillery rounds on SDF positions in northern areas of Deir ez-Zor, reported the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR), detailing that two SDF members were maimed.
"The injured members were taken to the hospital for treatment," added SOHR that relies on a network of sources within Syria.

There is a history of tense relations between the SDF and some Arab tribes in the province. Some anti-SDF groups have claimed that the Kurdish-led force is targeting Arabs, which the SDF has rejected.
