IED attack | “Head of Turkish relief organisation” killed in Al-Bab city, east of Aleppo

Aleppo province: SOHR activists have reported hearing an explosion hit areas in Al-Bab city, which is under the control of Turkish-backed operative room factions “Euphrates Shield” in the eastern countryside of Aleppo on Wednesday morning.

An IED exploded in the car of the director of a Turkish relief organisation called “IYD,” leaving the man dead.

It is worth noting that the dead man is from Homs province and the relief organisation is called Humanitarian Relief Organisation. Turkish relief organization was founded in 2014 and operates in Turkey and the areas controlled by Turkish forces and their backed factions in Syria.

On June 13, SOHR activists documented the injury of a member of Al-Jabha Al-Shamiyah and his wife severely, where unidentified gunmen on motorbikes shot them near Al-Hajaj square in the centre of Al-Bab city eastern of Aleppo, and they were transported to the hospital to receive proper medication.

On June 12, several members of the military police sustained various injuries in an attack by groups of displaced gunmen from Homs city on the headquarters of the military police in Al-Bab city in the eastern countryside of Aleppo. The attack came as a part of a response to the rape of a four-year-old girl by the brother of a commander in “Al-Jabha Al-Shamiyyah” known as “Abu Ghannoum.”

According to SOHR sources, displaced gunmen from Homs city brought in grand military reinforcement from different areas controlled by Turkish-backed factions to Al-Bab city, after the rape of a little displaced girl from Homs city by the brother of a commander in “Al-Jabha Al-Shamiyyah” in Al-Bab city. Meanwhile, the military police called for urgent military reinforcement to their headquarters in order to break up the ongoing clashes.

In a statement, of which the Syrian Observatory obtained a copy, the residents of Homs called for the punishment of the criminal and demanded the leave of the criminal’s family from areas under the control of Turkish forces and their proxy factions in no more 48 hours.
