Militants of the “Al-Hamza Squad” militia affiliated to the Turkish occupation and the Muslim Brotherhood have cut dozens of olive trees in a field located in the plain of the village of “Kafardaleh Jerin / Kafardal Tahtani” of the “Jenderes” district, to sell it as firewood, according to the correspondent of the Afrinpost in the district.
The reporter stated that the Kurdish citizen, “Abd al-Rahman Nasser”, from the village of “Kurzeleh”, went about a week ago to an olive field owned by him in the plain of the village of “Kafardaleh Jerin / Tahtani”, but he was surprised that the “Al-Hamzeh” militants had cut down all his trees.
For its part, the militia of the “Al-Shamiya Front” continued to cut the remaining olive trees (60 trees) in a field belonging to the displaced Kurdish citizen “Farouk Najjar”, from the village of Ain Dara, where the field is located in the vicinity of the water channel in Al-Ashrafieh neighborhood.
Afrinpost correspondent said on the sixteenth of last March that the militia of the “Al-Shamiya Front” had uprooted olive trees that they had previously cut, in the fields belonging to the Afrin displaced people in the area near the water channel in Al-Ashrafieh district, from fields belonging to Kurdish citizens (Farouq Najjar and Haider Sheikh Hussein) by bulldozer.
The occupied Kurdish region is witnessing continuous cutting of forest trees and perennial olive trees, by Islamic militia militants and their settlers ’families, and the Afrinpost correspondents have indicated in previous times, that the occupation militias cut down the forest trees as well as the olive trees belonging to the Afrin displaced people, and collect firewood in centers on the outskirts of villages, with the aim of selling and exporting the rest to Turkey.
