The National Defense Intercepts an American Patrol and Prevents it from Passing South of Qamishlo/Qamishli

A checkpoint belonging to the National Defense Forces of the Syrian regime army intercepted an American patrol in the southern countryside of Qamishlo, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. The observatory indicated that the 5-vehicle patrol retreated after the "National Defense" checkpoint in the village of Tal Al-Dahab prevented it from passing through. The checkpoint itself witnesses similar cases during every attempt by American patrols to pass through it towards Zuri Roundabout, south of Qamishlo, an intersection that connects the roads heading to Qamishlo, Al-Hasakah, Iraq with each other. In August of last year, coalition warplanes bombed the same checkpoint after they prevented an American patrol from passing and opened fire on them. As a result, a member of the National Defense was killed and two others were wounded.
