Since 8 January, civilians from North-East Syria have been holding a vigil at the Tishrin Dam to protect their territory alongside the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) and Women's Defense Units (YPJ) who are confronting attacks by the Turkish army and allied mercenaries called the Syrian National Army (SNA).

As the vigil continues on its 48th day, people maintain their determination despite the deadly attacks repeatedly directed against them, which have claimed the lives of dozens of people, including three journalists.

People partaking in the vigil state that their resistance will continue resolutely until the attacks stop.
