Turkish forces shell village in Syria’s Hasakah

TEL TAMR, Syria (North Press) – Turkish Forces targeted on Friday a village in the countryside of Hasakah, northeastern Syria.

A military source told North Press, “Turkish forces targeted with heavy artillery the village of al-Gozaliya in the western countryside of Tel Tamr causing material damage in the properties of the locals, without reporting human casualties.”

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 and its countryside have been under constant attacks by Turkish forces and their affiliated Syrian opposition factions, aka the Syrian National Army (SNA) for more than two years.

In the past week, the Turkish forces and SNA factions shelled several villages, including the village s of al-Dardara, Qara Sheikh Ali in the countryside of Tel Tamr with heavy weapons and artillery without reporting human losses, according to a military source.
