ALEPPO NORTHERN COUNTRYSIDE, Syria (North Press) – On Sunday, a Turkish drone targeted the positions of the Syrian government forces stationing in the town of Tel Rifaat in the northern countryside of Aleppo, north Syria.
This afternoon, a Turkish drone targeted the hill of Tel Rifaat, on the outskirts of the city, where the Syrian government forces are deployed, but no casualties were reported, according to what an eyewitness said.
There is a police station and the State Civil Status Department in the vicinity of the densely populated hill.
On February 15, the town of Tel Rifaat and its surroundings were hit with about 20 shells by the Turkish forces, resulting in the injury of 5 children as well as causing material damage to civilians’ property.
The town of Tel Rifaat, which embraces a part of IDPs of Afrin, has been threatened with invasion by Turkey and its loyal factions since residents of Afrin fled their areas and headed towards the northern countryside of Aleppo amidst the successive shelling that the town is witnessing.
The Syrian government forces accompanied by Russian forces are running the town of Tel Rifaat and its vicinities, where their posts have been deployed since 2018.
