Turkish-Backed SNA Shells Government Areas In Syria's Aleppo
2022-08-21
[NPASYRIA] Ottoman Turkish-backed armed opposition factions, also known as Syrian National Army (SNA), targeted on Friday night several military posts of Syrian government forces on frontlines in the city of al-Bab, in the eastern countryside of Aleppo Governorate.

Fierce festivities took place between the SNA and the government forces in several fronts.

Since 2017, the city of al-Bab in the eastern countryside of Aleppo has been under the control of the Ottoman Turkish-backed SNA factions.

Hours before, the government forces targeted a popular market in al-Bab with several missiles, killing 14 people and wounding 33 others, including serious injuries.

An opposition military source told North Press that Ottoman Turkish-backed Samarqand faction targeted posts of the government forces on Jabla al-Hamra front and the village of al-Hota, east of al-Bab.

The Ottoman Turkish-backed Sultan Murad faction also targeted the village of Radar Shaala, west of al-Bab, from which the government forces missiles were fired, according to the source.

This coincided with another targeting by other SNA factions of inhabited areas in the northern countryside of Aleppo, causing civilian casualties.

The source held the Syrian government forces responsible for "al-Bab massacre."

On the same day, the SNA-funded media accused the government forces and Syrian Democratic Force (SDF) of targeting the city.

Farhad Shami, director of the SDF Media Center denied the abovementioned accusation, stressing that their forces have nothing to do with bombing of al-Bab.
