Turkey launches 2 drone strikes on NE Syria in 24 hours
TEL TAMR, Syria (North Press) – On Friday, Turkish forces launched a drone strike on the northern countryside of Hasakah in northeast Syria.
A military source from the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) said the Turkish drone targeted the village of al-Tawila in the west of the town of Tel Tamr.
This is the second strike within 24 hours. However, both strikes resulted in no casualties, according to the source.
On Thursday, the village of al-Tawila was hit by a Turkish drone strike. The incident caused damage to the material possessions and homes of the villagers.
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 in the northwest.
The town has been under constant attacks by Turkish forces and the Turkish-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.
