Turkey Bombs Tel Abyad Western Countryside In Raqqa
|
The Turkish forces and their affiliated opposition factions (SNA) bombed on Wednesday villages in the western countryside of Tel Abyad, north of Raqqa, north Syria, with heavy weapons.
Turkish forces and the SNA control the city of Tel Abyad and its eastern countryside, while some villages in the western and southern countryside are out of their control.
The bombing followed the killing and injury of members of the SNA in Tal Abyad, as a result of an explosion in the afternoon hours of Wednesday.
An eyewitness from the western countryside of Tel Abyad told North press that “The Turkish forces targeted the villages of al-Ahmadi, Qartil and the village of Riz, 25 km west of Tel Abyad.
“The Turkish shelling is still ongoing, albeit sporadically, on villages in the western countryside of Tel Abyad,” the source added.
In October 2019, Turkish forces launched a military operation called “Peace Spring” against the majority-Kurdish areas of Tel Abyad and Sere Kaniye (Ras al-Ain) in northeast Syria.
The operation, which was conducted with the support of Turkish-backed factions of the opposition-aligned Syrian National Army (SNA), caused the internal displacement of over 300,000 individuals.
The Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) denied on Wednesday that it targeted the city of Tel Abyad, which is under the control of the Turkish forces and their affiliated opposition factions (SNA) in northern Syria.
The Sere Kaniye and Tel Abyad areas have been under the control of the Turkish forces and the affiliated armed opposition factions since late 2019, after they invaded the area, causing the displacement of nearly 300,000 indigenous people, according to human rights reports.
This came after pro-Syrian opposition websites and pages published news of missile strikes carried out by SDF targeting the center of Tel Abyad city.
Five people were killed on Wednesday afternoon and about twenty others were injured in an explosion in the center of Tel Abyad city. The explosion targeted a military center near Tel Abyad Hospital. Local sources suggested that the targeting was carried out by Russian drones.
