SOHR reports clashes between Turkish-backed groups in Serekaniye

Turkish-backed militiaman killed in clashes with rival factions in Turkish occupied Serekaniye city.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) reported that a member of the Turkish-backed “Al-Mu’tasim Division” was killed in clashes between a group of “Al-Mu’tasim Division” and another group of “Al-Hamzah Division”. The Observatory said that the fighting erupted over revenue-sharing and civilian houses possession in Serekaniye (Ras Al-Ain) city in “Peace Spring” areas in rural Al-Hasakah.

According to SOHR sources, a commander of Al-Hamzah Division from Deir ez-Zor province has seized nearly 20 houses in the city, while the dispute began when members of Al-Mu’tasim Division asked that commander to give them some of these houses.
