Daesh Attacks US Forces in Deir ez-Zor - Reports
According to SANA, airstrikes destroyed the house of a local resident, resulting in deaths and injuries, the number of which was not reported; the strikes caused significant additional damage.

Earlier in July, a US-led coalition warplane attacked two settlements in Deir ez-Zor, killing over 30 civilians and injuring dozens, while another sortie by coalition aircraft hit a group of civilians fleeing the town of al-Sousa located in the southeastern part of the province.

The United States and a number of its allies launched their campaign against Daesh in Syria in 2014, which has been operating in the country without any permission from Damascus.

The coalition's operations in Syria are not authorized by the government of President Bashar Assad or the UN Security Council.
