Kurdish-led militia, U.S.-led coalition forces brace for operation in
eastern Syria: monitor

DAMASCUS, June 4 (Xinhua) -- The Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces
(SDF) and forces of the U.S.-led coalition are bracing for operation
in eastern Syria against Islamic State (IS) militants, a war monitor
reported on Thursday.

The SDF brought hundreds of its members in the eastern countryside of
Deir al-Zour province to areas in the northern countryside of that
province, said the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.

The watchdog group said the military operation will be focused on in
the desert region in the northeastern countryside of Deir al-Zour.

The IS still has sleeper cells and members in the Syrian desert in
Deir al-Zour and Homs provinces.

The group has carried out a number of attacks against the Syrian army
in Deir al-Zour.
