Syrian Arab Army (SAA) troops and civilian government supporters continue to restrict the movements of US-led coalition forces in Syria’s northeastern region.
On December 23, the Syrian Arab News Agency reported that SAA troops and government supporters had confronted a US-led coalition convoy, consisting of four armored vehicles, on a checkpoint in the town of Khuaylid in the eastern countryside of al-Hasakah. The convoy was eventually forced to retreat.
A few hours later, the Syrian state TV reported that government supporters had intercepted a convoy of the US-led coalition that attempted to enter the town of As-Salamu Alaykum in the northern al-Hasakah countryside. The convoy retreated after failing to pass through the town.
The convoy intercepted near Khuaylid may be the same one that was intercepted a few hours later in As-Salamu Alaykum.
In the last few weeks, the SAA and government supporters tightened their grip on key roads in the countryside of al-Hasakah. As a result, US-led coalition forces failed to complete a number of missions.
On December 20, SAA troops intercepted a convoy of the US-led coalition that attempted to pass through the town of Tell al-Dahab in the northern countryside of al-Hasakah.

The recent movements of SAA troops and government supporters appear to be a response to the US-led coalition’s recent attempts to expand its operations in northeastern Syria under the pretext of fighting ISIS.
Most excellent Comrades 🤗 Make the Americant pirates cry and rage 🤗
Americunts know best not to escalate at these checkpoints. They are used to hiding in their FOB bunkers away from the fight, but up close and personal like this would mean SAA RPG’s and Kornets smoking them. They’d be mopped off the floor and overran by infantry quickly and humiliated. They only know how to hide in bases far away from the fight and call in air support. Typical cowards.
not sure why the syrians are so polite. they could have blasted them into pieces. koreans (north) would have already annihilated them and will never heard of them again.
