History

On February 7, 2018, during the Battle of Khasham of the Syrian civil war, a pro-regime Syrian tribal militia group advanced under cover of night from Tabiyet Jazira and attacked a Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) base near Khasham. The attack was unsuccessful, as the SDF's American allies "struck back with their entire destructive arsenal", leading to high casualties among the pro-regime forces, including Russian mercenary Wagner Group soldiers.^[2]
