Unknown people kill SNA militant in Syria’s Tel Abyad

RAQQA, Syria (North Press) – One militant of Levant Front (Jabha al-Shamiya), affiliated with Turkish-backed armed opposition factions, aka Syrian National Army (SNA), was killed on Tuesday at night in the city of Tel Abyad, north of Raqqa Governorate, northern Syria.

A private source told North Press that unknown people opened fire at a truck carrying the militant Mahmoud Yasin, in the countryside of Tel Abyad.

The assailants ambushed the militant on the route of Hoija, near Tel Abyad.

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.

On June 5, two people were wounded by Jabha al-Shamiya, while storming the village of Ain al-Arous, south of Tel Abyad.
