The six victims, whose identities are not yet known, were ambushed by IS militants on the Khurafi road leading to the eastern province of Deir al-Zour.
This is according to the so-called Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, Xinhua news agency reported.
With the latest ambush, Daesh has carried out 130 attacks in 2022 in areas controlled by the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) in northeastern Syria.
The attacks have left 104 killed, including 37 civilians and 67 SDF fighters, according to the UK-based war monitor.
Syria has been gripped by foreign-backed militancy since March 2011 waged by terrorist groups supported by the West that have opposed the government of President Bashar al-Assad.
According to the United Nations, more than half a million people have been killed and millions displaced in the violence.
