Military commanders warned Saturday that the Islamic State terrorist group could exploit tensions and violence in Syria to mount a return to prominence.
In a statement, the United States-led multinational military formation known as Combined Joint Task Force — Operation Inherent Resolve called for"an immediate end to the continued clashes in the Deir ez-Zor region" in eastern Syria."Destabilization of the region caused by the recent violence has resulted in tragic and needless loss of life," the statement reads.
Tensions in eastern Syria are complex and do not, for the time being, seem to immediately concern a resurgence by jihadists. There have been repeated clashes between the Kurdish-dominated Syrian Democratic Forces and local Arab tribes in recent months, and the situation escalated dramatically this week after the SDF arrested a tribal emir, prompting indiscriminate shelling and sniper fire.
A report released Friday by the Middle East Institute, a non-partisan think tank, attributed the mounting violence in the region to years of built-up mistrust and resentment against the SDF, which has been accused of firing on demonstrations and killing civilians during anti-ISIS operations. Institute researchers said the issue is not as simple as Arabs against Kurds, because there are Arabs in the SDF coalition.
