Local sources report that the Turkish occupation forces have set fire to the cultivated lands in the villages of Qasimiya, Rehaniya and Rashidiya to the northwest of Til Temir (Tal Tamr) today. The fire continues to rage in the mentioned areas.

Since the beginning of May, the Turkish occupation forces and their Islamist proxies have intensified attacks on agricultural lands in the Federation of North and East Syria.

Arson in northern Syria is one of the methods of Turkish warfare that is contrary to international law. Agriculture is the main source of income in the region and is systematically attacked.

According to the ANF, almost forty agricultural areas were burned in May in the regions of Girê Spî, al-Bab, Ain Isa, Til Temir, Shehba, Shera, Sherawa and Kobanê. The fires affected dozens of villages and thousands of people.

The attacks target the economy of the region and left at least 100,000 decares of grain field and 360 decares of olive grove burned to ashes.

The Turkish state and the ISIS burned hundreds of thousands of hectares of land at harvest time in 2019 to damage the economy of the autonomous region.
