International Coalition forces raided houses of smugglers in Jadid Bakara on the background of increased oil smuggling operations through the Euphrates.
Under the cover of the International Coalition helicopters, the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) participated in the frequent raids to prevent smuggling oil from the SDF-controlled areas to those controlled by the Assad regime. Assad regime’s agents smuggle oil in return for money.
The coalition’ campaigns target transporting oil lines, oil tankers, and external oil pipes on the Euphrates bank, as well as smugglers’ houses and vehicles.
