I had to read this twice to make sure I had read it correctly.
Yes, indeed, this is direct evidence of what we knew all along - that the US regards the best way to "fight ISIS" is to bomb Iraqi army positions leaving them open to attack from - yes, you guessed it - ISIS/Daesh

Following
the US-led airstrikes on Ayash military base in Deir ez-Ezzor, it has
been confirmed that 1 Syrian Arab Army soldier has been killed with
reports circulating that as many as 4 were killed, 13 wounded and 2
tanks destroyed.
It
has been confirmed that ISIS immediately attacked Ayash military base
immediately following the airstrikes.
The
Syrian Arab Army have been in control of the Ayash military base for
the entirety of the war, questioning American intelligence whether
this was a deliberate attack.

unfold in Deir ez-Ezzor:
US-Led ISIS Coalition Hits a Syrian Army Camp in Deir Ezzor: 1 Soldier Killed
For
the first time since the U.S. President Barack Obama announced an
aerial campaign against the Islamic State of Iraq and Al-Sham (ISIS)
in Syria, the Anti-ISIS Coalition of predominately Arab states have
struck a Syrian Arab Army (SAA) camp in the Syrian province of Deir
Ezzor, killing 1 soldier and wounding half dozen others on Sunday
evening.
According
to a military source from the Syrian Arab Army’s 104th Airborne
Brigade of the Republican Guard, a U.S. warplane struck the military
camp belonging to the SAA’s 137th Artillery Brigade (17th Reserve
Division) in the village of ‘Ayyash, killing 1 soldier instantly
and leaving 6 soldiers in critical condition – including an office.
The
Syrian Arab Army’s 137th Brigade has been protecting the civilians
in the village of ‘Ayyash from the swarming ISIS fighters that are
attempting to break into the provincial capital of the Deir Ezzor
Governorate from the northern flank; this airstrike only boosted
ISIS’ positions inside this village and the nearby broadcast tower.
As
of now; it is not clear who the U.S.-led Anti-ISIS Coalition aircraft
meant to target, but it was clear to the Syrian Arab Army soldiers
that the airstrikes were inaccurate and lacked logistical
comprehension of the ground situation in the Deir Ezzor Governorate
Now confirmed
US-led
coalition warplanes are reported to have killed four Syrian soldiers
in the Dier al Zor province, which is mostly under the control of
Islamic State. If confirmed, this would be the first time coalition
planes have hit Syrian troops, Reuters reports.
A
Syrian government source confirmed that the airstrike had taken place
and that there had been casualties. The source also added that
vehicles had been destroyed.
A
total of four Syrian Army soldiers have been killed, while a further
16 were injured, a government source told RIA Novosti.
“The
airstrike hit an ammunition dump belonging to the Syrian Army in Dier
al Zor. According to our information, four soldiers have died and 16
were injured. Two tanks were also damaged. This was the work of the
US-led coalition,” the government source added.
The
Dier al Zor province is eastern Syria, and is largely controlled by
Islamic State (formerly ISIS/ISIL). The region is of extreme
strategic importance to the terrorist group, as it contains a number
of oilfields, which are a major source of revenue for ISIS.
