Turkish shelling kills three civilians in Rojava

2021-12-23

[Rudaw] At least three civilians, including a mother and a daughter, were killed and a few children were maimed by ~~Ottoman~~ Turkish shelling in northeast Syria (Rojava) on Tuesday night, the Kurdish-led Syrian forces said hours following the attack.

The ~~Ottoman~~ Turkish army attacked the villages of Zarkan district in Hasaka province, the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) said.

The shelling led to the death of three people, including a 60-year-old mother and her 30-year-old daughter, the SDF said noting that four others were left injured.

Among the injuries were three children, it added.

The corpse count rose to four on Wednesday after an old man, who was brutally maimed in the attack, lost his life, according to Hawar News Agency (ANHA).

Local media outlets also confirmed the news of the attack, with North Press Agency (NPA) raising the toll of injuries to ten people. The internal security forces (Asayish) on Tuesday said the ~~Ottoman~~ Turkish offensives targeting areas in north of Hasaka are "an attempt to displace the residents," reported NPA.

The SDF and the ~~Ottoman~~ Turkish forces clashed in Hasaka's Tal Tamer on Wednesnday when Ankara launched a ground attack in Um al- Kif village, said ANHA.

Ankara has previously launched offensives in the districts.

Two people were killed in ~~Ottoman~~ Turkish bombardment in Zarkan on August 17. Days later, Turkey carried out an aerial attack on Tel Tamer’s Military Council base, killing four members of the SDF, including Sosin Birhat, who was known for her bravery in the fight against the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....

Turkey has conducted three military operations in northern Syria since 2016, two of them against Kurdish fighters who Ankara considers a branch of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) and a threat to its national security.

It has been threatening a new offensive against Kurdish forces in Rojava in the recent months.

SDF General Commander Mazloum Abdi on Friday said Turkey is unable to undertake another "military adventure" against Rojava due to internal issues and international pressure.

His Enormity, Sultan Recep Tayyip Erdogan the First

...Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him. It's a sin, a shame, and a felony to insult the president of Turkey. In Anatolia did Recep Bey a stately Presidential Palace decree, that has 1100 rooms. That's 968 more than there are in the White House, 400 more than in Versailles, and 325 more than Buckingham Palace, so you know who's really most important...
in October said he had "no patience" with Kurdish forces in Tal Rifaat, a pocket of territory in the northern Aleppo countryside.
