Turkish-backed SNA faction shoots 2 people in Syria’s Raqqa
RAQQA, Syria (North Press) – Militants of the Turkish-backed armed opposition factions, known as the Syria National Army (SNA), shot on Saturday at two young men in Raqqa Governorate, northern Syria.
The two young men were trying to leave the city of Tel Abyad and go to the areas held by the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (AANES). They were injured and taken to Suluk Hospital, west of Tel Abyad, an exclusive source told North Press.
The city of Tel Abyad in the north of Raqqa has been under the occupation of the Turkish forces and has been controlled by the SNA factions since 2019 following the so-called “Peace Spring” military operation that aimed to push away the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) under the pretext of protecting the Turkish national security.
After that, the SNA handed over the two young men to the Civil Police faction for investigation. This is the second incident during August, the source said.
The two young men were forcibly deported from Turkey to Tel Abyad two weeks ago. They decided to flee the area as they were blackmailed by the SNA factions.
