The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) reported that armed men in military uniforms of the Turkish-backed National Army kidnapped a young man in the youth hostel on Al-zeraa’h road in Al-Bab and took him to an unknown destination on Saturday. The young man’s fate is still unknown.

Meanwhile, Al-Hamza militiamen assaulted a nearly 60-year-old elderly man. The elderly man suffered varying injuries and was taken to the hospital for treatment.

This incident comes after disagreements erupted between a young man from Ghaytoun village in rural Akhtarin and members of the Al-Hamza faction. The militiamen then beat the elderly man when he tried to stop Al-Hamza members from assaulting the young man.

Yesterday morning, SOHR reported that a civil police patrol of three vehicles arrested a young man from Al-Bab city on charges of inciting against Turkey and sending inflammatory posts and messages against Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu on WhatsApp, taking him to its security post in Al-Bab city.
