ALEPPO, Syria (North Press) – A militant of Hamza Division, affiliated to Turkish-backed armed opposition factions, also known as Syrian National Army (SNA), were killed at the hands of militants of the Division following a quarrel in a village east of Aleppo Governorate.

A local source told North Press that Hamid al-Shamari, a militant of the Hamza Division, was shot dead after he was chased by the division’s militants for the sake of smuggled goods in the village of al-Tafri’a, in the city of al-Bab, east of Aleppo.

The city of al-Bab has been under the control of the SNA factions since 2017.

Al-Tafri’a constantly witnesses cases of smuggling between Syrian government forces and the SNA factions, according to the source.
