Syria’s Kurdish-led and U.S.-backed forces and an allied militia have removed the militia’s commander from his post after his arrest this week led to intense dayslong clashes that killed at least 32 people, including at least three civilians.
The SDF and the council jointly said on Wednesday that Ahmad Khbeil, better known as Abu Khawla, would no longer command the Deir el-Zour Military Council. He and four other militia leaders were dismissed over their alleged involvement in “multiple crimes and violations,” including drug trafficking.
The latest round of clashes raised concerns of more divisions among the SDF and its allies in eastern Syria, where IS had once controlled large swaths of territory and where IS militants still stage occasional attacks., along with an undisclosed number of contractors. They partner with the SDF to work to prevent an IS comeback.
Rami Abdurrahman of the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, an opposition war monitor, said SDF fighters set free several fighters who were captured by the tribesmen a day earlier.
