Since December 8, 2024, Turkish forces have persistently targeted the Tishreen Dam and Qaraqozak Bridge. The Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) have been actively countering these offensives. The relentless aerial bombardment by the Turkish occupation state has inflicted significant structural damage on the dam, prompting civilians from the region to organize protective convoys to the dam site.
The Turkish occupation has deliberately and systematically targeted these civilian convoys. To date, these attacks have resulted in the loss of 13 lives.
