Militants of SNA faction attack family members in Syria’s Afrin
AFRIN, Syria (North Press) – Militants of Jaysh al-Sharqiya, affiliated with Turkish-backed armed opposition factions, aka Syrian National Army (SNA), attacked on Saturday young men from a Kurdish family in the town of Jindires of Afrin countryside, northwest Syria.
Local sources told North Press that this incident erupted due to children argument which was followed by a stabbing incident including one of the family members the previous day.
The sources further explained that the militants of Jaysh al-Sharqiya violently assaulted young men from the Peshmerg family in the town of Jindires. As a result, one of the young men was transferred to the hospital.
The incident started as a dispute between a group of children, some from Jindires and others are settlers from Deir ez-Zor which escalated when the family members of the children, who belonged to Jaysh al-Sharqiya, brutally attacked the families of the other children, the sources added.
Militants of Jaysh al-Sharqiya attacked on Saturday a young man in Afrin Region, belonging to Peshmerg family, stabbing him with knives and storming his family’s house. It is noteworthy that this is the third time the young man has been targeted since the loss of four family members on the eve of Newroz, Kurdish holiday.
On the eve of Newroz, on March 20, militants of Jaysh al-Sharqiya carried out a systematic crime in the town of Jindires, shooting to death five civilian Kurds, four from Peshmerg family and wounding a child, for igniting the Newroz flame in front of their house.
