The US bids to undermine Syria's sovereignty have been foiled by Syrian civilians and their acts of resistance.

US occupation forces in Syria
Syrian checkpoint military guards and residents of Al-Salihiya village located on the outskirts of Qamishli have pushed back a convoy of five US armored vehicles, the Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA) reported Tuesday.
The US convoy included one vehicle from the Kurdish US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces militia, the report said, citing local sources.
Syrian civilians have long been resisting the US occupation of their country, with a similar act of resistance taking place last Tuesday, with locals preventing a US military convoy from entering the Al-Mujaibara village.
The United States has been for years supporting SDF militias against Damascus, and the US-backed forces are currently controlling parts of the provinces of Al-Haskah, Deir Ezzor, and Raqqa, where the largest Syrian oil and gas fields are located. The actions carried out by the United States constitute state piracy with the aim of siphoning Syria's oil resources out of the country.

The Syrian Arab Army intercepted in late June a convoy of US occupation forces in the Tal Sateh area of Qamishli's eastern countryside and forced it to retreat. Soldiers from the Syrian Arab Army have pledged to intercept any vehicle or convoy of the US occupation of Syrian territory.
On May 16, the US-led "international coalition" began a new repositioning process in Syria, roughly two and a half years after former President Donald Trump's decision to withdraw from Syria, which he later retracted and deployed instead his oil-thirsty occupation forces in areas where oil and gas fields are found.
The repositioning process coincided with the activity of US technical and military experts in the city of Ayn Al-Arab in the northeastern countryside of Aleppo, from which Washington withdrew in 2019, a few days before Turkey launched its "Operation Peace Spring," during which it occupied the cities of Tal Abyad and Ras Al-Ain in the northern countryside of Al-Hasakah and Raqqa.
