Four members of the same family were killed during a Turkish bombardment near the northern Syrian town of Ain Issa this week, the Iraqi Kurdish news agency Rudaw\u00a0reported<\/a>\u00a0late on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Early on Wednesday, Turkish forces bombed a Christian house in Safawiyah village near Ain Issa. The attack left Zidan Khalaf al-Issa and his three children \u2013 Ziyad, Muna, and Huda \u2013 dead, Aram Hanna, the spokesperson for the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) group told Rudaw.<\/p>\n

\u201cTwo other civilians were injured and were moved to Raqqa Hospital to receive treatment,\u201d Hanna told the Iraqi Kurdish outlet.<\/p>\n

Christian villagers in Ain Issa fled their homes during the bombardment. Some have since returned but are fearful of more attacks.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe situation is not good but we are still here,\u201d al-Issa\u2019s niece Fatima told Rudaw. \u201cWhere can we go? Yesterday, we left and stayed away from our house but today we returned.\u201d<\/p>\n

Turkey invaded large swathes of northeast Syria in October 2019 in Operation Peace Spring. The operation targeted the SDF, the main ally of the United States against the Islamic State group in Syria, and displaced tens of thousands of civilians. American and Russian brokered ceasefires brought the operation to an end after a few weeks, with Turkey and its Syrian militia proxies retaining control over territories they captured.<\/p>\n

Since then, Turkey has intermittently targeted northeast Syria. In late June, the Iraqi Kurdish news site Kurdistan 24\u00a0reported<\/a>\u00a0that Turkish drone strikes have killed several civilians in northeast Syria since the end of Peace Spring.<\/p>\n

Rudaw quoted Nabil Warda, the spokesperson for the Khabur Guards Council, a Syriac force in northeast Syria, who said Turkish bombardments are terrifying locals.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are terrified by the bombardment,\u201d Warda told Rudaw. \u201cNow, Turkey is bringing upon us what Daesh [Islamic State] brought upon us in 2015. We are still suffering from the Turkish invasion.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
