Turkish shelling injures member of Syriac Military Council in Khabour Valley

Turkish shelling injured a member of the Syriac Military Council in Khabour Valley in Northern and Eastern Syria.

The Turkish shelling continues on populated villages located on lines of contact in North and East Syria.

Amid international silence, the village of Tal al-Laban, northwest of Tal Tamr was targeted, on 14 July by Turkish artillery and missile shells, said the Syriac Military Council (Mawtbo Fulḥoyo Suryoyo - MFS).

The MFS said on Facebook that its forces continue to stand up to the Turkish-backed proxies, especially in Tal Tamer district and Khabur Valley.

The MFS said that the Turkish shelling resulted in the injury of an MFS fighter who was transferred to the hospital to receive the necessary treatment.

The MFS denounced the "Turkish barbaric violations, and affirmed its steadfast against the Turkish terrorist policies in the regions of Northern and Eastern Syria."

The MFS added: "The Turkish attacks aim to empty the region of its indigenous people. We call on the international community to stop the Turkish escalation and guarantee the protection of residents and infrastructure of the region." 

Earlier, a Turkish attack targeted the MFS leader, Orom Maroge.
