After a dispute over sheep smuggling crossings, fatalities and wounded of the Turkish-backed factions in clashes at the al-Bab city in Aleppo countryside
Aleppo Province, Syrian Observatory for Human Rights: clashes took place with machineguns between members of the Turkish-backed factions today, on the road connecting the villages of Sekkariyyeh Kabira and Jub Samaan in the northeastern countryside of Aleppo.
According to sources of the Syrian Observatory, members of Ahrar al-Sham attacked other members of “Jaysh al-Ahfad”, after a dispute over sheep smuggling to areas controlled by the Kurdish forces north of Aleppo, during which at least two members of Jaysh al-Ahfad were killed and others on both parties were wounded.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitored on the 18th of February 2020 members of the Turkish-backed “Al-Hamza Division” arrested two men in Bablit village, which belongs to Jindires area of rural Afrin in northwest Aleppo, for collaborating with the Syrian regime, and were taken to an unknown destination to date.
A few days ago, The Syrian Observatory had reported that an armed group belonging to “Jaysh Al-Sharqiya” faction stormed the house of a displaced person from Idlib, originally displaced from eastern Ghouta. The civilian was severely beaten in front of his family because of his refusal to leave the house on the pretext that the house was owned by “Jaysh Al-Sharqiya” faction, knowing that the victim had rented the house from his owners in Jindires. The faction leader sent death threats to the civilian through his members if he did not leave the house immediately, thereby forcing the civilian to leave the house.
