Wrath of the Olive Operation Room has released a statement reporting that an agent working for Turkey, who was involved in the murder and torture of civilians in Afrin, has been captured and punished in al-Bab.

The statement said the following:

“In the face of increasing actions of our fighters against Turkish soldiers and mercenaries in central territories like Afrin, Azaz and Idlib, some people spying for the Turkish state are seen to be attempting to get into contact with our forces and spying for both sides.

These agents who aim to deceive our fighters have dreamed of harming our forces through their cooperation with the invaders. As the Wrath of the Olive Operation Room, we have repeatedly warned these traitors and agents and urged them to give up on their dirty ambitions. However, we see that some of these traitors are continuing with their dirty ambitions and are serving as a toy in the hands of invaders.

One of these agents and mercenaries, Ehmed Zekeriya El-Mihemed has not only engaged in intelligence works for the Turkish state in the region but also played an important role in the torture of civilians in Afrin. These agent and mercenaries with him have been involved in the killing of several civilians.

The traitor named Ehmed El-Mihemed was captured in al-Bab following a close pursuit of our fighters. After confessing all his crimes, he was punished on 16 September 2018.

Wrath of the Olive Operation Room will continue to detect and punish all these traitors and agents. Our actions will continue until civil courts are re-established by the people and the Autonomous Administration. Once this is the case, we will hand over all the traitors to the court to be tried.”
