2024-03-18 Syria-Lebanon-Iran
Militia attack in Syria started with a personal affront
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.

Text taken from the V Kontakte post of Military Informant

Syrian sources report that the forces of the Imam Al-Baqir Brigade, consisting of militias of the rather influential Al-Baqir tribe, crossed the Euphrates and occupied several positions in the vicinity of the village of Muhaimidah, knocking out pro-American formations from the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) from checkpoints ).

The cause of the conflict is said to be an insult by a member of the SDF to Arab tribes in the presence of one of the Al-Bakir sheikhs. The Al-Baqir Brigade itself is part of the Local Defense Forces (not to be confused with the National Defense Forces), an association of pro-government militias in the provinces of Aleppo and Deir ez-Zor, created on a tribal basis with the active participation and sponsorship of Iran and, at a certain stage, Russia.

In the fall, this troubled region was already exploding with uprisings of Arab tribes, which have extremely strained relations with the Kurdish administration, as we wrote about. Then, by the way, the Al-Bakira tribe supported the rebels.
They do enjoy these little explosions from time to time.
