TEL TAMR, Syria (North Press) – On Monday, infighting between the Turkish-backed opposition factions over a smuggling checkpoint in Sere Kaniye (Ras al-Ain) in northeast Syria, which is under the control of the Turkish forces and the affiliated opposition factions, led to deaths and injuries, including civilians.
“Members of al- Hamzah Division killed a civilian and wounded another at the Aziziyah checkpoint, west of the city of Sere Kaniye, for refusing to pay the bribe to the checkpoint members,” informed local sources told North Press.
The incident then was followed by a military tension among armed groups affiliated with Shohadaa Badr Brigade, which controls the western countryside of sere Kaniye.
According to informed sources, al- Aziziyah checkpoint is considered a checkpoint for smuggling and the imposition of royalties on the local population by the same faction.
On Monday, in fighting broke out between Shohadaa Badr Brigade members and al-Hamza Division members at the same checkpoint over smuggling.
A member of Al-Hamzah Division was shot dead in the infighting, the sources said.
On Tuesday, the city of Sere Kaniye witnessed a vigil by the residents to hand over the body of the killed and to expel Abu Hamid al-Harbi, the leader in al-Hamza Division for being the cause of the infighting.
The internal disputes are usually over sharing of levies, profits and routes used for people smuggling into Turkey and the imposition of royalties on people.
It is worth noting that the Turkish forces and opposition factions have controlled the city of Sere Kaniye and its countryside in addition to Tel-Abyad, northeast, since 2019 following an invasion that displaced about 300 thousand of the indigenous population, according to human rights reports.
In the same context, members of al-Hamza Division, the largest armed faction in the Sere Kaniye area, killed a member named Turki al-Baaj from the Sultan Murad Division, in the countryside of Sere Kaniye on March 20, a special source told North Press.
