4 Kurds killed in Afrin’s Jindires by SNA while igniting Newroz fire
[NPASyria] Ahrar al-Sharqiya, a faction affiliated with the Ottoman Turkish-backed opposition’s Syrian National Army (SNA), killed on Monday four Kurds and injured others in Jindires town, the countryside of Afrin, northwest Syria.

A local source told North Press, "Militants of the Ahrar al-Sharqiya faction opened fire on citizens who were setting fire on Newroz eve, killing four and seriously wounding two others."

The source added that the incident occurred after a verbal altercation between members of the faction and residents of Jindires who were preparing to light Newroz fire in front of their balcony of their house on the 16 Street in the Industrial Area.

"After getting maimed, all four were taken to a hospital and bit the dust there. They are: 43-year-old Farah al-Din Othman, 38-year-old Nazmi Othman, 18-year-old Muhammad Nazmi Othman, 42-year-old Muhammad Othman. All four are from the Peshmerga family," he said.

The city of Afrin and its countryside have been under the control of the Ottoman Turkish-backed SNA factions since March 2018.

March 21 of each year represents the national holiday of the Kurds. Fire is ingrained in the Kurdish culture and holds a symbolic value for Kurds who gather around the Newroz fire this day every year to celebrate the advent of spring and the departure of winter.
