Arsons in Al-Hasakeh | Fires spread to frontlines between SDF and Turkish-backed factions, and fire crews unable to extinguish them

The Syrian Observatory has monitored the breakout of fires west of Ras al-Ain in the area between the villages of Al-Alia and Manajir.

Meanwhile, a fire broke out in the village of Al-Dardara in the countryside of Tal Tamer, which was extinguished by fire crews before it broke out strongly again. The fire continues to spread to the vicinity of Abu Racine town in Al-Hasakeh countryside.

On May 24, civil sources informed the Syrian Observatory that members of the Turkish-backed factions continued to set crops and agricultural projects on fire in countryside of Tal Tamer. Locals saw them while committing arsons in the villages of Al-Qasimiyah, Um al-Khair and other areas in countryside of Tal Tamer.

Meanwhile, the fires caused  extensive damage to crops and equipment of agricultural projects, such as water extraction engines, other agricultural machinery, water tanks and homes of citizens in that area.
