Combined Joint Task Force - Operation Inherent Resolve forces conducting a patrol to protect key terrain and natural resources encountered a hostile pro-Syrian regime militia at a checkpoint near Qamishli, Syria, Feb. 12, 2020. After Coalition troops issued a series of de-escalation attempts and warnings, the patrol was attacked by a barrage of stones, small arms fire, and arson from nearly 10 militia men. Coalition forces returned fire in self-defense, killing an adult male combatant. The incident is under investigation. One U.S. service member received a superficial injury during the engagement and since returned to duty. The Coalition operates in Eastern Syria to partner with Syrian Democratic Forces to defeat ISIS remnants and protect critical infrastructure. (U.S. Army photo by Staff Sgt. Jodi Eastham)
