SYRIAN WAR REPORT – AUGUST 24, 2018: ISIS ATTACKS US-OCCUPIED OIL FIELDS IN EUPHRATES VALLEY On August 22, an IED blast hit a vehicle of the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) near the village of al-Hawaji west of the Omar oil fields on the eastern bank of the Euphrates. According to the ISIS-linked news agency Amaq, four SDF members were killed in the attack. Separately, a booby-trapped motorcycle hit an oil truck of the SDF near the village of Juma east of the Omar oil fields. Amaq claimed that ISIS members had captured and executed the truck driver. In response to the attacks, warplanes of the US-led coalition carried out a series of strikes south of al-Omar allegedly killing several ISIS members in the area, according to pro-SDF sources. This was not the first time when the terrorist group engaged the SDF in the oil fields area. On August 18, ISIS stormed SDF positions near al-Omar.
