A conflict between local residents and US troops early on Wednesday in a Syrian village of Khirbet Ammo near the border town of Qamishli saw one child killed and one civilian injured. US troops reportedly opened fire after local residents attempted to protest the passage of a US convoy which had entered an area controlled by Syrian authorities.
As a warning to #Syria Arab Army, a #USAF F-15E from 389th Fighter Squadron which had been flown from Muwaffaq al-Salti AB, #Jordan dropped a bomb at the #SAA checkpoint in the east of #Qamishli where a convoy of #US Army had been stopped by locals & #SAA!pic.twitter.com/i2Vt45bDc0

According to the Russian Centre for Syrian Reconciliation, the Russian servicemen prevented further escalation and ensured the exit of the US military convoy in the direction of a US base in Haseke province.
A military journalist, meanwhile, published footage alleging a US airstrike on Syrian army positions in Qamishli. The video appears to show an F-15E jet belonging to the US Air Force flying over the area. The journalist claimed that this jet dropped a bomb as a warning to the Syrian army. An attack, however, was not captured on video.
There has been no statement issued from the US-led coalition regarding the footage. According to Operation Inherent Resolve spokesman Myles Caggins, the US-led coalition in Syria opened fire on civilians “in self-defense”. Caggins said the coalition was investigating the incident.
Tensions in Syria escalated over the past week after the Turkish Defenсe Ministry said its soldiers and a civilian died in shelling by Syrian forces at Turkey’s observation post in the province of Idlib.
Ankara has threatened to attack Syrian government troops outside the Idlib de-escalation zone if they are found to have conducted what the Turkish forces consider to be offensive operations.

The funeral of the 14 year old Syrian boy, who was shot by the US during this incident, took place today.
It seems that the US Army is adopting tried and tested Israeli tactics on winning friends.
Any Yankee, Isreali or Turk plane flying into Syria should be brought down and never return.
Ammerrecans are joking with fire, one day or another they will be burned.
Another very serious argument is….. the hunt of rogue americans and westerners is starting, in Iraq and in many other places, Jordan or other very bad nations which host the worst regime ever seen from the times of roman emperor. Their fascist behavior is the worst ever seen from centuries, and nazi and/or Sovietic regimes weren’t for sure as bad as the regime of american rogue evil zionist infamous of today.
They drop bombs on civilians, shot missiles from ships, subs, drones and whatever possible other system when on the field the civilian people are very tired of that criminal way to make colonialism, steal resources and help zionist to steal territories of other sovereign nations, how much time will pass until the hunt became fiery and determined? one thing must be clear whatever people or organisation which attack americans that are on the field of sovereign nation which don’t authorize them to stay, IS LEGAL AND SACROSANCT on whatever basis. THIS MUST BE CLEAR, and ONU everyday which don’t do nothing, specially knowing that ISIS is an american/english/zionist creation.
the whole world also is tired
It’s hard to blame the SSA when the Turks and the US attack them in Syria. But just what do you do with those Kurds?
The Israeli’s fly F-15’s. A gift from the Pentagon.
Missing from this Story is What did the upgraded Syrian S-300 do or Where is it or Did Russia provide backdoors to USA to the Syrian Antiaircraft Missile System Supplied by the Russian and then there’s also one such system in use by Russia at the Russian Khiminem Air base in Syria ……
