Turkey continues bombing Syria’s Hasakah northern countryside
TEL TAMR, Syria (North Press) – Turkish forces and Turkish-backed opposition factions (SNA) continued on Thursday to bombard villages on the frontlines in the countryside of Tel Tamr, north of Hasakah, northeast Syria, with heavy weapons.
“Turkish forces bombed the populated villages of Tawila and Tel Tawil, west of the town of Tel Tamr, with artillery and mortar shells,” a source in the Tel Tamr Military Council told North Press.
The bombing resulted in material damage to the residents’ property, according to the source.
Following the Turkish “Peace Spring” military operation in October 2019, which resulted in the occupation of the two cities of Tel Abyad, north of Raqqa, and Sere Kaniye (Ras al-Ain), north of Hasakah, Turkey signed two ceasefire agreements, one with Russia and the other with the US.
The agreements stipulate halt of all hostilities there and the withdrawal of the SDF 30 km in depth away from the Turkish border in addition to conducting Turkish-Russian joint patrols in order to monitor the implementation of the agreements.
