In the village of Til Sosin, in Ehdas district, 11 years old Mihemed Hebeş was playing with his friend when he stepped on a mine left behind by ISIS. Hebeş and his family had moved to Shehba from the village of Çeqela in Afrin’s Shiye district after the occupation of the region by the Turkish army and allied mercenaries. Mihemed’s right foot was broken as a result of the explosion of the mine. The boy continues receiving treatment in hospital and will have a second surgery after six months.

Officials from the Avrin Hospital in Shehba Canton said that both minors are in stable conditions and will be discharged from hospital today.
