During the fighting between the two groups, both of which are affiliated to the Turkish state, three terrorists were killed and seven others injured, while two civilian women were deliberately shot and wounded.
OLIVE TREES SET ON FIRE
The occupation forces have also been destroying the nature and habitat since their occupation of Afrin, setting fire to vast lands and fields and cutting down numerous trees.
Latest reports suggest that the Turkish-affiliated terrorist groups have set fire to dozens of olive trees in Alciya village of Shera district. In another area, the mercenaries are cutting down trees to use as firewood.
AT LEAST 123 CIVILIANS ABDUCTED IN 29 DAYS
According to ANF figures obtained from local sources, at least 123 people have been kidnapped since the beginning of September. The actual figures are guessed to be higher.
The occupation forces’ attacks against civilians have been scaled up in recent months.
Afrin is under the occupation of the Turkish state and its mercenary allies for over a year now. The attacks of the Turkish state against Afrin began on 20 January 2018 and the invasion of the city was carried out on 18 March 2018.
Since the invasion, war crimes have been systematically committed in the region. Almost every day, crimes such as the confiscation of property belonging to local people, kidnapping of civilians for ransom, torture or executions are carried out.
