RNA - The US army's long convoy, including 90 trucks carrying arms and ammunition and other military hardware, entered Syria's Hasaka controlled by the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) via Simalka border-crossing with Iraq.

The convoy further moved towards the US-run bases in Eastern Deir Ezzur.

According to Fars News Agancy, the Arabic-language website of Sputnik quoted well-informed sources as reporting earlier this month that the US army and other foreign forces, deployed in Eastern Deir Ezzur, limited their presence in Konico and al-Umer oilfields.

It further said that the move came after ISIL ambushed the US forces and their allies near al-Umer and in an SDF attack in al-Bahrah region and managed to capture four US soldiers and a number of SDF militias.

The Arabic Sputnik further said that ISIL recaptured the regions they lost to the SDF in Southeastern Deir Ezzur in the last few days.
