Turkish shelling wounds 3 people in Syria’s Tel Tamr
QAMISHLI, Syria (North Press) – On Sunday, three people were injured in a Turkish shelling on the village of Tel al-Laban, southwest the town of Tel Tamr, northern Hasakah Governorate, northeast Syria.
A local source told North Press that the injured people were transported to a hospital in the town and their health condition is stable.
On July 26, Turkish forces targeted the village of Qubur al-Qarajnah, north of Tel Tamr.
Tel Tamr, which has a population of about 25,000 and is 30 km away from the Syrian-Turkish border, is of strategic importance as it is a junction on the M4 Highway linking Hasakah to Aleppo governorate in the northwest.
The town has been under constant attacks by Turkish forces and their backed armed opposition factions, aka Syrian National Army (SNA) for more than two years.
Parts of the northern and western countryside of the town and the entire southern countryside are protected by the Syriac Military Council and the Assyrian Khabour Guards Forces, while the SNA controls the northern countryside up to the city of Sere Kaniye (Ras al-Ain) on the northern border of Syria.
