Aleppo | Three civilians killed and injured by Ankara-backed faction and latter claims repelling infiltration attempt by Kurdish forces

Aleppo province: A civilian was killed and two others were injured, by bullets of members of the “National Army” in an area near Maranaz village in the northern countryside of Aleppo, while Turkish-backed factions claimed that this was during repelling an infiltration operation by Kurdish forces.
According to SOHR activists, these people initially crossed the checkpoint of the entrance to Izaz city in the northern countryside of Aleppo, with the aim of entering the city, but the checkpoint refused to enter them and forced them to return to Kafar Jannah village in Sharan countryside in Afrin.
Accordingly, these people took another dirt road in an area near Al-Mazaraah village, and upon their arrival at a point near Maranaz village, they were shot by members of Ankara-backed “Peace Brigade”.
Syrian Observatory sources denied any infiltration by Kurdish forces in the northern countryside of Aleppo.
On March 7, SOHR reported that rockets fired from areas where Kurdish and regime forces are deployed in the northern countryside of Aleppo hit the vicinity of Azaz national hospital in Aleppo countryside. However, no casualties have been reported.

Meanwhile, clashes erupted between Kurdish and regime forces on one hand, and factions of the “National Army” on the other on Mar’naz frontline in Sharran district in Afrin countryside, along with exchange of artillery fire between the two sides.
