HASAKAH, Dec. 17 (YPA) – Local residents of several villages in Syria’s northeastern province of Hasakah have in coordination with the Syrian Army forces prevented a number of US military convoys from passing through their communities, Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA) reported.

According to SANA,  a US convoy of five armored vehicles, escorted by a vehicle belonging to US-backed Kurdish militants affiliated with the so-called Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), was forced on Thursday afternoon to turn around and head back in the direction it came from after locals of the villages of al-Damkhiya and Abu Dhuwail blocked the road, and prevented its movement.

The agency added that the villagers threw stones at the American convoy and chanted slogans in condemnation of US occupation forces and the SDF militants.
