In turn, US-backed Jaysh Assoud al-Sharqia claimed that it managed to repel two SAA attacks.

Jaysh Assoud al-Sharqia added that its fighters destroyed 3 SAA tanks with ATGMs during the last 48 hours.

Meanwhile, several groups of the US-backed Free Syrian Army (FSA) operating in At Tanf announced that they had formed a committee to determine the best direction to launch an attack on Deir Ezzor city. The committee included Jaysh Assoud al-Sharqia, Ahrar al-Sharqia, Maghawir al-Thawra and Jaysh al-Sharqia – all supported by the US-led coalition.
According to the committee’s statement, it was decided to attack Deir Ezzor from the south, which means that these US-backed groups may attack the SAA troops operating in the southern part of Deir Ezzor province at the Syrian-Iraqi border.
Although the US-led coalition claims that it does not want to attack the SAA, FSA mmembers at At Tanf attacked the SAA using weapons supplied by the US-led coalition, and managed on August 1 to recapture the Mahrotha area in Damascus desert violating the de-escalation agreement. However, the US-led coalition continued supporting the groups that are now attacking the SAA on at least two fronts.
