In a written statement, the Afrin Liberation Forces (HRE) said that one of their fighters, Ziyad Medûr (Diyar Afrin) was killed in an accident on 24 June.

The statement said: "Our actions against the violent attacks of the invading Turkish state in Afrin and in the regions occupied by Turkey continue. We pay a great price for the freedom of our people and for our land. Apart from our friends who fell as martyrs on the battlefield, we also have martyrs who died as a result of accidents and this causes us added pain. Our friend Diyar, who was born and grew up in Afrin as the son of a patriotic family, died as a result of an accident.”

The HRE continued: “Our friend Diyar had to migrate to Shehba with his family after Afrin was occupied by the invading Turkish state in 2018. Knowing his responsibility towards his family, people and land, he went to fight against the invaders. When he joined our forces in 2019, he had no training in warfare but quickly became skilled. After successfully completing his basic training, our friend participated in many actions against the invaders after 2019 and became a very good fighter. Our friend became a battalion commander. He was loved by the friends under his control. He trained them and helped them solve their problems. Our friend Diyar was married and had children. He was devoted to his people and was always ready to help.

We would like to express our condolences to the beloved family of our friend in Diyar, and to all our patriotic people of Afrin and the people of the region.”
