Turkish-backed mercenaries continue to carry out attacks in Ain Issa

Turkish-backed mercenaries in Ain Issa continue to carry out attacks against an unused displaced refugees camp and settlement areas in the east of the small town.

The Turkish army and its proxy forces resumed shelling in northern Syria. The bombings are concentrated on the small town of Ain Issa. According to a journalist from ANHA, the attacks are targeting the area around the old IDP camp on the north-western outskirts of Ain Issa, as well as places in eastern Ain Issa. It was not initially known whether people were injured.

Located south of the Turkish occupation zone in northern Syria, Ain Issa is strategically important because it connects the Autonomous Administration regions of the Euphrates, with Kobanê at its center, and Cizîrê. Since 2019, Ain Issa has been attacked by Turkey and its Islamist proxy mercenaries in a war of high and low intensity. Dozens of villages in the region have already been destroyed and depopulated as a result. A Turkish air offensive last November reduced much of the infrastructure to rubble.
