ALEPPO NORTHERN COUTNRYSIDE, Syria (North Press) – A child was injured on Tuesday evening when the Turkish forces and the affiliated armed opposition factions bombed the center of the city of Tel Rifaat in the northern countryside of Aleppo with several missiles.

The 8-year-old child, Zilan Arif Qassim, was injured due to the Turkish indiscriminate shelling while heading towards the basements to escape the shelling. She was transported to Fafin Hospital.

On Tuesday afternoon, the center of the city of Tel Rifaat and its surroundings were hit with about 20 missiles by the Turkish forces, resulting in the injury of 5 children as well as causing material damage to civilians’ property.

Several villages in the northern countryside of Aleppo were bombed by the Turkish forces and opposition factions supported by them on Tuesday evening.

The town of Tel Rifaat, which embraces a part of IDPs of Afrin, has been threatened with invasion by Turkey and its loyal factions since residents of Afrin fled their areas and headed towards the northern countryside of Aleppo amidst the successive shelling that the town is witnessing.

Syrian government forces accompanied by Russian forces are running the town of Tel Rifaat and its vicinities, where their posts have been deployed since 2018
