The Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) reported that the Turkish state continues its blatant and overt aggressions against the regions of north and eastern Syria, committing daily crimes against humanity through the bombing of villages, populated areas, and vital infrastructure.

In a statement on Sunday, SDF Press Centre said the following:

“On Saturday morning and continuing until midday, the Turkish occupation initiated heavy artillery shelling targeting al-Imam Hill near the village of Khirbet al-Zamala in the countryside of Tishreen Dam. Following the shelling, Turkish occupation mercenaries launched an attack on the al-Imam Hill. Our fighters repelled the attack, eliminating and injuring several mercenaries, and forcing the remaining mercenaries to flee.

The mercenaries attacked another point held by our fighters in the same area. They were met with significant resistance by our fighters, resulting in the confirmed elimination of three mercenaries and injuries to others. Clashes continued into the early evening hours.

When the mercenaries attempted to retrieve the bodies of their eliminated mercenaries, our Martyr Haroun Units targeted three gatherings of mercenaries and their vehicles. These included a personnel carrier vehicle and a pickup truck, resulting in several mercenaries being eliminated and injured, though the exact numbers remain unknown.

Additionally, near Syriatel Hill, our Martyr Haroun Units successfully targeted a tank and a vehicle equipped with a DShK heavy machine gun, causing significant damage. Two mercenaries were also targeted and seriously injured.

On the Deir Hafer front, the mercenaries targeted, using mortar shells, a checkpoint in the area, resulting in injuring one civilian. Our fighters responded to the source of the shelling.”
