Two Syrian civilians wounded in Turkish attack against farmers in Hasaka

HASAKA, (ST)- Two civilians were wounded when the Turkish regime’s troops opened fire with machine-guns at farmers while they were working at their agricultural lands in Bab Suleiman village in northern countryside of Hasaka near the borders with Turkey.

The Syrian News Agency quoted local sources as saying: “Troops of the Turkish regime on Monday morning opened fire with machine-guns at the farmers, who were working at agricultural land in the surrounding of Bab Suleiman village, wounding two farmers.”

The sources indicated that the injured were conveyed to al-Malkiya National Hospital by the locals to receive the treatment, adding that their health condition is stable as one of them was shot in his shoulder while the other sustained a wound in the abdomen.

The attack launched by the Turkish regime against the farmers comes within the framework of its continued attempts to target the Syrian sovereignty.

Over the past years, the Turkish regime has turned the Syrian-Turkish borders into corridors for the infiltration of terrorists and mercenaries into Syria to attack the Syrian state and its people and to steal the Syrian oil.
