Rival factions | Turkish-backed militiaman killed in Ras Al-Ain (Sere Kaniye)

Al-Hasakah Province – Syrian Observatory for Human Rights: A member of the Turkish-backed “Al-Mu’tasim Division” was killed in clashes between a group of “Al-Mu’tasim Division” and another group of “Al-Hamzah Division” over revenue-sharing and civilian houses possession in Ras Al-Ain city in “Peace Spring” areas in rural Al-Hasakah.

 

According to SOHR sources, a commander of Al-Hamzah Division from Deir Ezzor province has seized nearly 20 houses in the city, while the dispute began when members of Al-Mu’tasim Division asked that commander to give them some of these houses.

 

This development comes in the light of ongoing violations against the residents and their properties and the Turkish-backed factions’ escalating dominance.

 

On February 3, SOHR sources reported that members of the Turkish-backed “Al-Hamza Division” set fire to four houses where displaced families lived in Al-Qasimiyyah village in Tal Tamr countryside, near the Turkish post.
