On July 27, government supporters intercepted a convoy of the US-led coalition near the town of Khirbet al-Dhiyabat in the northern countryside of al-Hasakah in northeastern Syria.
According to the Syrian Arab News Agency, the convoy, which consisted of seven vehicles, was forced to retreat from the town’s outskirts by angry locals.
“The locals cut off the road and prevented it [the convoy] from entering, this prompted occupation forces to leave and return to where they came from.”- local sources told the state-run news agency.
A video of the incident revealed that at least two of the convoy’s vehicles were M2A3 Bradley infantry fighting vehicles (IFVs).
The Bradley IFV is armed with a 25 mm M242 chain gun, a 7.62 mm coaxial M240C machine gun and a dual TOW anti-tank guided missile, ATGM, launcher.

In October of 2019, the U.S.-led coalition deployed a number of Bradley IFVs in northeastern Syria after having withdrawn its troops from Aleppo and Raqqa. The coalition went on to deploy more IFVs in the region in September of 2020. These heavily-armed vehicles were originally deployed to support the Syrian Democratic Forces as well as to guard occupied oil and gas fields.
Government supporters have been working to restrict the movement of US-led coalition forces in northeastern Syria for more than a year now. Khirbet al-Dhiyabat encounter was not the first and will not likely be the last.
You have no idea how foolish you look with the sort of comments you make, you have a tendency to mindlessly repeat the narrative spoon fed into your vacuous head.
You have no idea how foolish your arrogance makes you look. But, it’s your ad hominem that really spotlight’s your stupidity. When that’s all you have to contribute to the comments, it’s wise to just shut the fuck up, stupid.
“You have no idea how foolish your arrogance makes you look.”
Yet I continually prove your agitprop wrong with proof, whilst you childishly insist I’m wrong with no proof to speak of.
And yet this website is filled with nothing but arrogant, reactionary trolls who do nothing but spreading insults and frequently talk shit.
“your ad hominem”
Yet you never address any of my points without resorting to insults yourself, it’s “fine” when you do it but never okay if others are anything but meek in return.
So no what I stated is a clear, honest observation.
“When that’s all you have to contribute to the comments, it’s wise to just shut the fuck up, stupid.”
If you bothered to read my comments you would know that I do no such thing, you are clearly a self-righteous foreigner that views everything in a two-dimensional, black and white manner. You trolls only repeat what you are told ad infinitum.
Coming from Jim the intellectual midget that can only reiterate the lies fed to itself by the jewish dominated Russian establishment.
“When the argument is lost, slander becomes the tool of the loser.” — Socrates
“Ridicule is the FIRST and LAST argument of a fool.” — Charles Simmons
Because you can’t refute me and demonstrate ugly character. You take everything I say and argue in the opposite direction without ever being able to refute me whatsoever, rather you unwittingly serve to verify my point.
“poko molo triggered by truth”
I don’t feel triggered at all, you merely say the exact opposite of anything I say. You don’t seem to even be a real person.
“amerika is a culture of stupidity”.
1. I’m not American, I have never lived there and only been there on a river cruise and through one airport.
2. The jew in question is referring to the US in a bygone era, most of their commentary is shallow and hypocritical; everything you are stating about America is taken out of context from a time period where even the culture of the United States was richer than the spiritually depleted state in which the rest of the world is in today.
“Uglified” is not a word.
1. Yet you mistakenlyaccuse me of slander yourself.
2. I can tell English isn’t your native tongue, you don’t even seem to be white.
“Russians naturally think dialectically and make connections”. Geoffrey Gorer
And yet you prove the exact opposite in this comment section, you have a tendency to randomly quote jewish authors.
Then why do you always type unintelligent, infantile comments?
You only repeat what you are told and make no connections, after all your intelligentsia was murdered by jewish supremacist psychopaths.
mr putin lover, you truly are an idiot,
Nice to see Syrian people confront the americans, shows they know full well who is responsible for whats happened to their country.
They should be blowing them up.
Yanks are running away from Afghanistan, from Iraq, but wtf they’re doing in Syria? Who invited them to Syria?

An IED would be more effective means of communication with these US savages.
The US is globally unwelcome.
Your excessive response refutes your own criticism.
