| 2022-03-18 |
SERE KANIYE, Syria (North Press) – A tension rose between two Turkish-backed armed factions in the city of Sere Kaniye (Ras al-Ain), north of Hasakah, northeast Syria, yesterday. A tension rose, yesterday, between al-Hamza Division and the Regiment 20, backed by Turkey, due to the defection of a group from al-Hamza Division and join the Regiment 20, a local source told North Press. The source added that members of the two factions deployed in the city, and leaders of Ahrar al-Sharqiya faction and few Turkish officers intervened to resolve the dispute that sparked between the two factions. Insecurity has spread in the areas controlled by the Turkish forces and the Turkish-backed opposition factions in northeast Syria since the Turkish invasion in late 2019. In October 2019, the Turkish forces and the Syrian opposition factions launched ground and aerial offensive against Sere Kaniye and Tel Abyad in NE Syria displacing approximately 300,000 civilians, human rights reports said.
