Syrian militant group attacks Turkish military in northern Raqqa
2020-05-20
[ALMASDARNEWS] A Syrian holy warrior was shot and killed by the Ottoman Turkish military in the northern countryside of the al-Raqqa Governorate recently.

Citing "reliable sources", the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) reported that a fighter from Jaish al-Sharqiyah" was rubbed out by the Ottoman Turkish military in the town of Slouk.

The monitor said the "altercation took place between Ottoman Turkish forces stationed at Sluk checkpoint and the fighter after the fighter refused to stop at the checkpoint. The verbal argument evolved to opening fire on the fighter leaving him dead."

Following this incident, Jaish al-Sharqiyah reportedly attacked the Ottoman Turkish military inside the town.

The Ottoman Turkish Ministry of Defense has not commented on these alleged incidents; however, if true, this would mark the first time during the Syrian conflict that a Free Syrian Army
... the more palatable version of the Syrian insurgency, heavily influenced by the Moslem Brüderbund...
 (FSA) faction has attacked the Ottoman Turkish Armed Forces.
