US military have encountered a number of guerrilla attacks in Syria
lately

It was reported that a group of guerrillas attacked US military men in Syria several times lately. The guerrillas have allegedly killed about 15 US military men by bombing two columns and attacking houses in Al-Shaddadi.
On
March 30, local self-defense groups bombed a column of six American
humvees. Six soldiers were killed, eight others suffered injuries of
varying degrees.
According
to messages in Telegram channels, Syrian guerrillas attacked another
column of US troops the same day on a highway from Manbij to Raqqa on
the eastern bank of the Euphrates. Two US military men were killed
with mortar fire, eight were wounded.
It
was also said that on April 1, four people, disguised as auxiliary
workers, accessed the houses in Al-Shaddadi, where the Americans
live, and threw several grenades into the buildings. Seven people
were killed, about ten were wounded.
In
the northeast of Syria, a US military motorcade was attacked.
According to Kurdish sources, the homes of US servicemen were also
attacked. WarGonzo Telegram channel said citing the Kurds that there
were PMC mercenaries based in the neighbourhood, where the second
attack occurred.
Predictably,
the Pentagon has not released any officially comment regarding all
this information. Yet, it is believed that March was the "deadliest"
month for the entire period of the US operation in Syria and Iraq.
A
message posted on WarGonzo Telegram channel said:
"The
Syrian people's resistance to the US occupation attacked another
Yankee column. The information was confirmed by two of our sources
(the Kurdish one and a source from local Arab tribes). The attack was
conducted on Hasaka-al-Shaddadi highway, on the road junction that
the locals call "the 47th kilometer." The junction is a
massive concrete overpass. A land mine was planted alongside the
overpass, and the guerrillas exploded at least one armoured vehicle.
It was a column of APCs this time. Unlike those Land Cruisers that
were bombed several days ago - they were most likely used by US PMCs
- armoured vehicles are clearly a military indication, so we are
waiting."
"Some
data on the losses will somehow surface soon. After all, AFP has
recently tweeted some info about killed NATO soldiers. The Americans
also have leaks," the authors of the channel added
