Syrian opposition activists and pro-government media say Arab tribesmen have clashed with U.S.-backed Kurdish fighters in several areas of eastern Syria, leaving at least 10 people dead and others wounded.
The clashes raise concerns of more divisions between U.S.-backed Kurdish and Arab fighters in eastern Syria, where the Islamic State group once enjoyed a wide presence. U.S.-backed fighters play a major role in targeting Islamic State sleeper cells that still carry out deadly attacks.
Another activist collective that covers news in the region, Deir Ezzor 24, said eight civilians were killed in the village of Hrejieh, where the fighting was the most intense.
