The Afrin Liberation Forces (HRE) announced the balance sheet of the actions they carried out against the occupying Turkish army and affiliated mercenaries during the month of May.

The HRE statement on Saturday includes the following:

“Since the day they occupied Afrin, the occupying Turkish state and the jihadist gang groups under its control have been attacking our people employing all kinds of dirty ways and methods within the scope of massacre and genocide policies. From massacres to arrests, extortion, seizure of citizens’ property, rape, demographic change, they have been constantly attacking our people, hundreds of thousands of whom have been forced to leave their homes. The occupiers continue to commit such crimes in front of the eyes of the world public opinion, which remains silent about what is happening.

The occupying Turkish state and its gangs, who do not limit their attacks only to Afrin, are also targeting our people who had to leave Afrin and are currently living in Aleppo, Shehba and rural areas of Afrin. Our people living on their own land and in their own property are being attacked by reconnaissance aircraft, suicide drones, howitzers, tanks and mortars. Recently, enemy attacks against the areas inhabited by our people have increased. Dozens of our people, including children and women, were martyred, especially as a result of air strikes. As the defence force of our people, we do not remain silent in the face of attacks, and we carry out our revenge and retaliation actions.”

HRE announced the balance sheet of the actions they carried out during May:

“On 2 May, a special action carried out by our forces left 2 mercenaries dead and one other injured in between the villages of Kîmarê and Beradê. On the same day, our forces mounted a special operation against the occupying Turkish military base in the Azaz region and 2 soldiers were wounded.

On 3 May, our forces carried out a sniper action in the Marê region and a mercenary of the occupying Turkish state was killed.
