Turkish anti-SDF attack | SOHR reveals details of killing two senior “SDF” leaders by Turkish drone attack amid arresting dozens of people by SDF

Al-Raqqah province: Syrian Observatory sources have revealed details of the killing of a senior SDF leader, Mohammed Korpuz, known as “Dogan Amanos,” accompanied by another leader nicknamed “Tshello,” who were among five military personnel killed, by a Turkish drone attack on a military post in Ain Issa on September 16.

According to SOHR sources, SDF members told Dogan to go to the hospital from a different route as he was trying to get out of a fortified place to a hospital for treatment. The leader on a motorbike accompanied by the other leader crossed a military checkpoint, then they were targeted by a missile fired from a Turkish drone, killing them instantly.

Meanwhile, members of the military police came to search for cells cooperating with Turkey, but they were also targeted and three of them were killed.

Following these attacks, the military police arrested nearly 35 members operating under the banner of commander Dogan for investigation and accountability.

 

On Sunday, Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) arrested dozens of military and civilian people in Ain Issa area of “capital of Autonomous Administration” in the northern countryside of Al-Raqqah, SOHR sources reported.

This development came over the recent aerial bombardment by Turkish drones in the area, during which five SDF fighters were killed.

According to SOHR activists, SDF arrested 35 of its members, 21 civilians and two regime soldiers stationed at the 93rd Brigade in Ain Issa.

SDF arrested these people in order to investigate Turkish drone attack, and to identify the collaborator with Turkish intelligence who send coordinates and SDF military positions to Turkey.

According to Syrian Observatory sources, among those killed in the Turkish drone attack, were two prominent military leaders, one of whom is wanted by the Turkish government.

 

 

On September 16, SOHR activists documented the death of five people which are: two members of the cadres and three members of the SDF-backed Military Police, in addition to the injury of another member, due to an attack by a Turkish drone on machinery at a checkpoint near the 93rd Brigade, which holds regime and SDF members in Ain Eissa district in Al-Raqqa countryside.

Reliable sources informed SOHR that SDF-held city of Al-Raqqah city, the former de-facto capital of the “Caliphate State,” witnessed the trial of 15 people accused of “spying for Turkish intelligence.” It is worth noting that a large number of civilians and combatants, who had been killed in the latest Turkish ground and aerial attacks, attended the closed trial which was held on Sunday, September 11, 2022.
