Up to three civilians were injured in crossfire allegedly between the SDF and Deir Ezzor Military Council on August 29th, 2023 in the Al-Shafiyyah area of Granij, a town east of Deir Ezzor.

Naher Media (@nahermedia) stated the injured were farmers, with Euphrates Post (@euphratspost) identifying one as Ibrahim al-Hamid al-Abd al-Hay, a young man.

Euphrates Post alleged the civilians were struck by stray bullets fired either by the Deir Ezzor Military Council and their tribal allies, or the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), while multiple local sources attributed the shooting to the SDF directly. The men were near the SDF checkpoint, located by the Sycamore (Al-Jamizan) bakery at the entrance to the town.
