During the ensuing clashes, three mercenaries were killed and their military equipment was seized. Attacks by the Turkish state forces and mercenaries were carried out simultaneously. While the mercenaries retrieved their dead, the Turkish state fired 50 cannon balls from the village of Qirate. The bombardment caused material damage on the houses of civilians while many agricultural fields in the villages of El Jat and El Hoşeriye burned down.”
