Today, Saturday, the Turkish forces and its Islamic militias targeted the northern outskirts of the town of Tal Rifaat with heavy artillery and mortar shells. The shelling also targeted the villages of Mazare’ al-Shahba, al-Sadd, Husya and Meng Military Airport in the northern countryside of Aleppo.
This violent shelling coincides with the launch of several air strikes by Russian warplanes on the outskirts of the city of Darat Izza, in the western countryside of Aleppo.
On March 5, the Russian forces targeted with a Surface-to-Surface missiles Tarhin in the al-Bab countryside and Al-Hamran crossing in Jarablus countryside on March 5, but the Turkish occupation forces responded by intensively shelling the camps of the forcibly displaced people of Afrin in al-Shahba.
It is noteworthy that the Turkish army had evacuated several checkpoints in the western countryside of Aleppo last Tuesday.
Observers believe that there is harmony between the Russian and Turkish forces, so whenever Russian warplanes launch their air raids on pro-Turkey mercenaries, the others initiate targeting the camps of forcibly displaced people of Afrin in al-Shahba, in an attempt to urge them to displace again.
