Hussein had returned from harvesting olives from his grove in the nearby village of Alikaro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the source, the faction confiscated the harvest, claiming unpaid taxes on his 230 trees in Alikaro, with a fee of $2 per tree imposed on villagers. The seized olives were taken to the faction&#8217;s headquarters in Shengeleh village.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Recently, the Turkish-backed Sultan Suleiman Shah faction, locally known as al-Amshat, had cleared more than a thousand pine trees in a forest south of the town of Mabata in Afrin\u2019s countryside, according to a local source.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The city of Afrin, along with 366 towns and villages, has been occupied by Turkey and controlled by the SNA factions since 2018. This occupation followed a military operation known as &#8220;Olive Branch,&#8221; which aimed to remove the Kurdish People\u2019s Protection Units (YPG) from the area, under the pretext of protecting the &#8220;Turkish national security.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>By Siwar Hamo<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AFRIN, Syria (North Press) \u2013 A faction of the Turkish-backed armed opposition, aka the Syrian National Army (SNA), cut down dozens of forest trees in the countryside of Afrin in northwestern Syria, a source said on Sunday.
