In the details of the incident obtained by the “Syrian Observatory for Human Rights”, a personal dispute erupted between gunmen from the militia “Al-Hamza Squad” and one of the money changers in the Ashrafieh neighborhood in the city of Afrin because of their dispute over the exchange rate of the US dollar to the Syrian pound.
The dispute developed between them, the gunmen stormed the money changer’s shop, and the sum of 2,300 US dollars was taken from him under threat of weapons, then they fled.
Since the occupation of the Kurdish region, after they submitted the justified Turkish occupation to the invasion and turned into a obedient tool used by the Turks to divide Syria and cut off its lands, Islamic militia militants carried out extensive armed robberies in Afrin and its villages.
The gunmen monopolized the robberies each in the occupied sector, as it divided Afrin and its villages into sectors, and each sector is subject to the control of a specific militia, which is often the first militia whose militants were able to occupy any village or area during the invasion of Afrin from January 2018 to March 2018.
