Syrian soldiers killed by terrorist Kurdish forces previously blocked US troops from entering Qamishli

The 13 Syrian soldiers killed by the US-backed terrorist Kurdish forces had previously encountered a group of U.S. troops attempting to enter the city of Qamishli, a military source told Al-Masdar News this evening.

According to the military source, the Syrian soldiers prevented the U.S. forces from entering Qamishli through the government’s checkpoint.

The source added that the Syrian military believes the Kurdish forces that attacked them were doing so in retaliation for this previous engagement with the U.S. troops.

Most residents of Qamishli have opted to remain home in order to avoid anymore violence between the government and Kurdish forces.
