Turkish drone attack kills 4 SDF fighters in Syria's northeast
2023-07-29
[NPASYRIA] A Ottoman Turkish drone struck on Friday evening a village in the countryside of Qamishli in northeast Syria killing four SDF fighters.

The Media Center of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) said that a drone of the "Ottoman Turkish occupation state" struck the village of Kherbat Khoy, some 20 km to west of the city of Qamishli.

The attack led to the "martyrdom of four of our fighters," the SDF added. "The Media Center will share the details of the aggression in a later statement."

This is the second drone attack in 48 hours, where a Ottoman Turkish drone struck on Thursday two vehicles between the villages of Tel Maaruf and Khazna in the southern countryside of Qamishli.

The attack led to the killing of three people and the injury of two others, according to a statement by the Internal Security Forces of North and East Syria (Asayish).

The dangerous and systematic Ottoman Turkish violations of human rights
...which are often intentionally defined so widely as to be meaningless...
 in Syria, not abiding by and implementing its extraterritorial obligations, threatening the security and stability of north Syria, carrying out deadly operations, and violating the civilians’ right to life, are all a violation of the international human rights law and international humanitarian law and must be investigated and held accountable for.
Rudaw adds:
The strike targeted fighters of the Kurdish-led force in Khirbat Khowa village in the Amuda district of Hasaka at 7 o’clock on Friday evening.

According to SOHR, Ottoman Turkish drones have carried out 29 attacks on areas controlled by the SDF in 2023, killing a total of 44 people - 10 civilians, including a child and a woman, 31 military personnel and three soldiers of the Syrian regime.
