The Turkish-backed mercenaries of the 80th Brigade of the Syrian Transitional Government Forces targeted residents of the village of Jub Abyad, north of Deir Hafer, with light and medium weapons on Thursday afternoon, leaving many civilians injured, according to local sources.
Activists circulated videos showing the mercenaries firing at residents gathered near makeshift oil refineries, a scene that poses a significant threat to the lives of the entire village.
The attack comes just two days after the killing of the citizen Abdullah al-Moussa at the hands of mercenaries in the same village, as part of a series of ongoing violations in the southern Manbij and northern Deir Hafer countryside, occupied by Turkey and its mercenaries. These violations include murders, shootings, and the burning of civilian property.
The region is experiencing increasing unrest amid the escalation of crimes and the absence of any deterrent for their perpetrators. Two days ago, residents staged a massive demonstration in the center of Manbij, warning that the continuation of these violations would lead to open confrontations between the residents and the mercenaries, especially given the complex tribal nature of the region.
