Days of deadly clashes between the US-backed, Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) and local fighters have rocked eastern Syria's Deir Ezzor province, threatening a fragile balance in the strategic area. The SDF spearheaded the offensive that defeated the ISIS group's self-declared “caliphate” in Syria in 2019.
