Turkish Shelling Destroys Mosque In Syria's Raqqa
2022-12-02
[NPASYRIA] Ottoman Turkish forces shelled on Thursday a village in the northern countryside of Raqqa Governorate, northern Syria, destroying a mosque as a result.
They're Moslems so they're allowed to do that.
The Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) Media Center said that the Ottoman Turkish shelling targeted with more than 25 shells the mosque of the village of al-Terwaziya, east of the town of Ain Issa.

The center added that the shelling resulted in almost complete destruction of the mosque.

The photos attached to the article on the SDF website show the mosque’s stairs completely destroyed and a huge hole in the roof.

In December 2021, the mosque of the town of Zirgan (Abu Rasin) in the northern countryside of Hasakah Governorate, was subjected to Ottoman Turkish shelling, causing great damage.

On late May, the Mar Sawa church in the village of Tel Tawil in the countryside of the town of Tal Tamr, north of Hasakah, was subjected to heavy Ottoman Turkish shelling.

Since November 20, Ottoman Turkish warplanes have bombed hundreds of sites along the border in northern Syria, focusing on infrastructure and health facilities, in addition to claiming 52 lives and injuring 46 others, most of them civilians.
