Turkey Targets IDP-Populated Villages In Aleppo
|
On Tuesday, Turkish forces shelled several villages in the northern countryside of Aleppo, mostly inhabited by the displaced people of Afrin region.
“Several shells fell on the villages of Sha’allah and Zoyan, in the northern countryside of Aleppo. No details have been provided of the continuous shelling so far,” a military source told North Press.
Eight shells fell on the village of Aqiba, north of Aleppo Governorate, and two artillery shells hit the village of Umm Hawsh near a medical center, an eyewitness told North Press.
The northern countryside of Aleppo Governorate, also known as Shahba region, houses IDPs of the Kurdish city of Afrin which was occupied in 2018 by Turkey following a military operation called “Olive Branch” to push away the Kurdish People’s Protection Units (YPG) under the pretext of maintaining Turkish national security.
The operation caused the displacement of about 300,000 of the original inhabitants of the Kurds of Afrin who have been taking shelter in 40 villages and five camps in Shahba region since then.
On Monday, the Turkish forces shelled the vicinity of al-Wahshiya village, causing extensive damage to pistachio trees in the vicinity of the village, in the northern countryside of Aleppo.
