According to the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), three of their fighters were killed in Til Temir on 13 December. The fallen fighters were named as Cîhad Kobanê (Cîhad Hesen), Diyar Kesk (Yasîn Eksî) and Fedakar Kurdistan (Eqîl Reşo).

The statement released by the SDF press office pointed out that the fighters are putting up great resistance against the Turkish occupation forces; saying “The Turkish state attacks children, women and old people without distinction and uses heavy and prohibited weapons. This is a violation of international law. The SDF was formed to defend the region and will continue to respond to all attacks.”

Cîhad Kobanê was buried today at the Şehîd Dîcle Cemetery in Kobanê. Hundreds of people attended the funeral.
