Afrinpost – Special
A settler died yesterday, Monday, as a result of an electric shock that he suffered while trying to steal the electrical cables in the city of Jenderes in the countryside of the occupied Afrin region.
According to the Afrinpost reporter, the settler, who is from the town of Marzaf in Idlib countryside, died as a result of being exposed to high electrical current while trying to cut electrical cables to extract copper from it and sell it.
And in December 2020, two settlers from Eastern Ghouta died while trying to steal cables from the high-tension line in the center of the occupied Afrin region of the former Autonomous Administration.
The reporter explained at the time that the settlers went up to the high-tension tower located at Al-Horsh Junction in Tarande neighborhood, and tried to cut and steal the cables to sell them as raw copper material, but they were hit by the electrical current and died instantly.
The militants and their settler families have waged fierce thefts campaigns against the infrastructure in the Kurdish region since its occupation on March 18, 2018, as the thefts affected the electricity, telephone, water, communications, railways and other public facilities that remained intact in a very large proportion during the era of the previous Autonomous Administration.
