In its ongoing attacks against North-East Syria, the Turkish state systematically targets the substructures in civilian settlements in an attempt to displace the local population and occupy further regions.

According to reports from the ground, the Turkish state forces attacked the village of Merzi in the Zirgan town in Heseke Canton at around 10 am local time today.

The occupation forces also bombed the water supply network in the village, causing material damage.

On August 9, an attack by the Turkish state killed three people from the same family and left three others injured in the village of al-Shirka to the east of Ain Issa.
