According to Sputnik, a number of elite US soldiers in the US army were injured during the confrontations. However, the US Department of Defense Spokesperson John Kirby said no American casualties were reported.

Sputnik detailed that confrontations between US occupation forces and armed men controlling the area continued for hours in the vicinity of the Atma border area, the far northwest of Syria.

Additionally, the target of the landing operation is one of the leaders of the terrorist organization ISIS, called Abu Obeida, who took shelter inside the house of the leader of the Guardians of Religion Organization Abu Hussam Al-Britani.

On their social media platforms, militants confirmed that all the victims of the airdrop were in fact civilians and no leader was among them.

At the same time, the Syrian Opposition Observatory said the "coalition helicopters carried out a landing near the Atma camps, in search of wanted persons."

The Observatory added that "the landing operation near Atma is the largest for the coalition since the operation carried out by the American special forces in Idlib, which led to the death of ISIS leader Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi on October 27, 2019."
