QUESTIONS were raised over British operations in Syria after it was confirmed that two soldiers were seriously wounded today in a suspected Isis rocket attack in the east of the country.

The rocket attack targeted a Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) base in the town of Deir ez-Zor, killing a member of the mainly Kurdish People’s Protection Units (YPG).

It is believed that British troops have been fighting on the ground in Syria alongside the Kurdish-led SDF, but the British Ministry of Defence (MoD) said: “We do not comment on special forces.”
