SNA faction injures 2 people in Syria’s Raqqa

Raqqa, Syria (North Press) – Two people were wounded on Sunday at night by Turkish-backed armed opposition factions, aka Syrian National Army (SNA), while storming the village of Ain al-Arous, south of Tel Abyad, in the northern countryside of Raqqa Governorate, northern Syria. 

A security source told North Press that a group of Levant Front (Jabha al-Shamiya), affiliated with the SNA, raided four houses in Ain al-Arous, south of Tel Abyad, and opened fire while raiding a house, injuring Yasser and Khaled al-Ammar.

On October 9, 2019, Turkey launched an invasion against the cities of Sere Kaniye (Ras al-Ain) and Tel Abyad. It resulted in the Turkish occupation of the region and in the displacement of over 300.000 of the region’s inhabitants. 

Five people were arrested on charges of dealing with Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), according to the source.

The storm is the second of its kind during two weeks under the pretext of pursuing terrorist cells, the source added.
