Official of Turkish-backed faction killed in Aleppo countryside
2022-02-23


AZAZ, Syria (North Press) – An official in charge of the technical issues of the Turkish-backed faction of al-Jabha al-Shamya (Levant Front) killed on Tuesday in explosion of an IED planted in his car in a neighborhood in the city of Azaz, north Aleppo.

“The explosion claimed life of the official of the Levant Front Muhammad al-Hussein so-called ‘Abu Hussein Ishara,” an exclusive source told North Press.

“The city witnessed military alert by the military police faction checking and setting other checkpoints inside residential neighborhoods following the explosion,” the source added.

On February 15, a young man and a child were injured as an IED placed inside a garbage bin detonated in the middle of Azaz city.

In January, a member of the Turkish-backed Military Police was killed and two others were wounded in an IED explosion in a car in Azaz city.

Since July 2012, Azaz and the surrounding villages, north of Aleppo, have been under the control of the Turkish-backed Syrian armed opposition factions. Successive bombings and kidnapping take place frequently in the city amid inability of the Syrian opposition factions to control security.
