Yesterday, Saturday, sources said that a patrol of the “Sultan Murad” militia near the pine forest surrounding the city of Afrin from the side of the Al-Zaydiyah neighborhood, were logging most of its trees.
Militants also cut down about 140 olive trees from the fields of the citizens, “Muhammad Ezzat Khalil” and “Muhammad Ali Haj Hanan,” from the village of Maarska in Shara district, and transported the stolen firewood to the market of the occupied city of Afrin.
