Since 8 January, civilians from North-East Syria have been holding a vigil at the Tishrin Dam to protect their territory alongside the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) and Women's Defense Units (YPJ) who are confronting attacks by the Turkish army and allied mercenaries called the Syrian National Army (SNA).

As the vigil continues on its 26th day, people maintain their determination despite the deadly attacks repeatedly directed against them.

At around 11:30 local time, the Turkish state once again bombarded the vicinity of the dam with warplanes and artillery shelling.

According to a balance sheet published by the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria, 7 convoys of people traveling to the region have been attacked by the Turkish state since January 8.

A total of 41 people were killed and 245 others were injured in these attacks.

In the attacks on the Tishrin Dam alone, 24 people were killed and 221 were wounded.

Among those killed were two journalists, medical personnel, artists, women and children. Among the wounded are 7 journalists and medics.
