Pro-Turkish factions kill young man in Syria’s Manbij

MANBIJ, Syria (North Press) – A young man lost his life on Thursday, after being shot while he was near the line separating the Manbij Military Council and pro-Turkish opposition factions near the village of Arab Hassan, northwest of Manbij.

“Two days ago, Hammond al-Ahmad al-Hussein (28) was injured as a result of being shot while he was near the contact lines,” an informed source said.

“Al-Hussein was immediately transported to al-Hikma Hospital in Manbij, but he died today of his sever bleeding as a result of being shot in the head,” the source added.

There have been many cases of Turkish-backed factions targeting civilians near the lines of contact, hoping to cross into the areas of these factions or simply passing by.
