The occupying Turkish state and its gangs bombarded the villages of Semuqa, Til Mediq, Til Jijan and Um Hosh villages in Shehba and the Shahba Dam this morning.

Villagers grazing their animals were targeted in the bombardment and 4 children were injured. The injured children, who come from the Ewêce village in Aleppo, were identified as Duha Hesen (16), Xedîce Îsmelî (15), Meter Îbrahîm (14) and Faris Îbrahîm (13).

According to the information obtained from Avrin Hospital officials, Duha Hesen and Xedice Ismeli were discharged, while Meter Ibrahim, who was wounded in the foot, is under observation.

According to Meter Ibrahim, they were targeted by bombs while they were working in their fields. Stating that they had to work for their livelihood, Meter İbrahim said that he and his brother were wounded.

It is learned that Faris Ibrahim, who was wounded in his left foot, is in serious condition and is being treated in the intensive care unit.

It is also reported that 13 small cattle belonging to a person named Xidir Sihod perished in the bombardment targeting Um Hoş village.

Hundreds of thousands of displaced people from Afrin live in the Shehba region north of Aleppo. With the new social contract of the autonomous region of North and East Syria, both regions were declared the canton of Afrin-Shehba. Afrin was previously considered the safest region in the civil war-torn country of Syria and has been occupied by Turkey since March 2018. Since then, human rights violations and war crimes have become part of everyday life. In addition to a classic colonial policy, Turkey is also practising a policy of ethnic cleansing. The demographic change in favour of Turkey and its Islamist invasion corps, crimes such as kidnappings, torture, extortion and murders as well as ongoing artillery attacks occur on a daily basis and with the de facto approval of the international community.
