The Internal Security Forces (ISF) of North and East Syria reported in a written statement that the occupying Turkish state targeted a building belonging to the Internal Security Forces with an armed unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV).

"As part of the systematic attacks carried out by the occupying Turkish army against the region, our Internal Security Centre in the east of Qamishlo was targeted by an Armed Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) in the morning hours today (2 February), resulting in the martyrdom of 4 of our companions and injury of one another," the statement said.

According to the statement, a group of ISF members were targeted by the occupying Turkish army on the seventh day of the third phase of Operation Humanity and Security in Hol Camp when they arrived at the ISF Centre in Qamishlo to get supplies for the internal security forces partaking in the operation.

“The occupying Turkish state is targeting the Internal Security Forces who are struggling to prevent the ongoing operation in Hol Camp, which houses ISIS families. Through these attacks, it manifests its open support for the revival of DAESH (ISIS) gangs,” said the statement.

The Internal Security Forces stressed that the targeted attack against their forces “will not distract us from our main struggle. On the contrary, we will protect our region with a stronger will and determination."
