The United States military called for an end to days of fighting between rival U.S.-backed groups in east Syria Thursday, warning it may help the resurgence of the Islamic State group.<\/p>\n
The fighting that broke out Monday \u2014 and left at least 40 people dead and dozens wounded in the eastern oil-rich province of Deir el-Zour \u2014 was the worst in years. East Syria is where hundreds of U.S. troops have been based since 2015 to help battle IS militants.<\/p>\n
The clashes pitted members of the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces against its former ally the Arab-led Deir el-Zour Military Council and some regional Arab tribesmen who had sided with them.<\/p>\n
The Combined Joint Task Force – Operation Inherent Resolve said in a statement that it continues to closely monitor events in northeast Syria adding that “we remain focused on working with the Syrian Democratic Forces to ensure the enduring defeat of Daesh, in support of regional security and stability.” It used the Arabic acronym to refer to IS.<\/p>\n
Sporadic clashes occurred in different parts of the area along the border with Iraq on Thursday and both sides were reportedly bringing in reinforcements.<\/p>\n
