Four year old child loses leg in suspected Turkish attack
2022-01-10
[Rudaw] A four-year-old child lost his leg in a suspected Ottoman Turkish attack on the Kurdish town of Kobane in northern Syria on Saturday.

The attack targeted around 15 villages in the countryside of Kobane, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR), killing one and wounding twelve others, including women and kiddies.

A photo of the four year old Abdou Mustafa Hanifi, who lost a leg in the attack on the village of Qarmog, broke the internet on Saturday with the Kurdish led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) media head Farhad Shami calling out The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the decaying remnant of the Ottoman Empire...
as responsible.

Turkey is yet to release a statement on the attack, however an unofficial source tracking the Ottoman Turkish military operations on Saturday confirmed attacks on Kobane and the village of Qarmog, claiming that the Ottoman Turkish artillery units struck Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) targets.

Video footage published by the SDF affiliated Hawar News Agency (ANHA) on Saturday showed the moment of the attack on Qarmog village, from which at least three women were maimed and were carried to a car close by.

Ankara often targets north and north and east Syria (Rojava), killing and injuring civilians and security forces.
