Turkish forces, SNA attack towns in Syria’s Hasakah
HASAKAH, Syria (North Press) – Turkish forces and Turkish-backed armed opposition factions, also known as Syrian National Army (SNA), shelled on Wednesday at dawn villages in the countryside of the towns of Tel Tamr and Zirgan (Abu Rasin) in northern Hasakah Governorate, northeast Syria.
A military source told North Press that Turkish Forces and the SNA factions targeted with mortar and artillery shells the village of Umm al-Keif in the west of Tel Tamr.
So far, no material or human casualties as a result of the attack have been reported.
The Turkish forces targeted on Tuesday night with heavy artillery the villages of Khirbet al-Sha’ir and Tel al-Ward in the countryside of the town of Zirgan.
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 in northeast Syria to Aleppo governorate in northwest.
The town has been under constant attack by the Turkish forces and their SNA factions for more than two years.
Recently, eight people have been injured by the Turkish attacks in Tel Tamr.
