A member of the Turkish-backed Jaish al-Nukhba militia was killed and five others were seriously injured last Friday night, as a result of violent clashes that took place between them and “Suqour Al-Shamal” militia, due to a dispute over the sharing of looted antiquities funds in an archaeological site in the countryside of the occupied Afrin region in northern Syria.
According to our reporter, violent clashes erupted between the pro-Turkey Soqour al-Shamal militia, led by the so-called “Hassan Khairiah”, and “Jaish al-Nukhba” militia led by the so-called “Moataz Raslan”, against the background of disputes over the sharing of antiquities and gold funds, which were extracted from the “Nabi Hori” archaeological site.
