The Afrin Liberation Forces (HRE) reported that at least 10 invaders were killed in two separate raids against the gangs of the occupying Turkish state in Marê and Azaz.

In a written statement on Wednesday, HRE stated that the raids were carried out on 19 and 20 July.

In Marê, HRE fighters infiltrated the bases used by the gangs and captured many armouries on 19 July. The fronts used by the gangs were rendered unusable.

According to HRE, 4 invaders, including a commander, were killed during the action, and 4 others were injured. A DShK-laden vehicle was also damaged.

In another action, HRE fighters raided a point of the Turkish-backed gangs in Azaz on 20 July. HRE fighters infiltrated the positions used by the gangs and captured their armouries.

“The positions were rendered unusable and heavy blows were dealt to the invaders. 6 invaders were killed, 3 others injured and 2 military vehicles destroyed during the action. In addition, 3 AK-47 rifles, 2 military bandoliers, 11 AK-47 magazines, a telephone, a communication device, a military bag, thermal batteries and many AK-47 bullets were seized,” said the HRE statement.

HRE stated that the occupying Turkish state and its gangs attacked civilians after their actions, bombing civilian areas in the countryside of Shehba and Afrin with heavy weapons.

“As a result of these immoral attacks, a citizen was injured and material damage was caused to the property of many people,” the statement added.

HRE vowed that: “Our retaliatory actions against the enemy will continue”.
