The protection of civilians has led to the removal of civilians from Afrin, which has entered a new phase

For his part, spokesman for People Protection Units in Afrin Brosk, that their forces are everywhere in Afrin and entered a new phase in fight against Turkish occupation and its mercenaries after they secured the exit of civilians from Afrin to avoid genocide by Turkish aggression, which destroyed all areas and villages occupied by .

The weapons used by Turkish occupation forces and their mercenaries in their aggression against Afrin presented to them by NATO are:

Tiger fighter 1: is a Turkish-made fighter was one of the first air weapons launched from the base of  military Incirlik, and bombed positions in Afrin city, a fighter for the F-16 "used by Israeli army in the shelling of Palestinians in Gaza Strip.

Hauartz or deadly spear rockets:before the Turkish ground forces were deployed to Afrin, Hautzer, or so-called "Ramah missile," was used on the head of weapons that hit the tunnels and the shelters of Syrian civilians in Afrin claiming the targeting of People and Women Protection Units.

Hauartz is characterized by its ability to hit the target with 12 rockets at the same moment, and by automatic electronic control.

Laser bombs are also used to target a military gathering but the brute force used by Turkish army against the Syrians. This type of bomb was used by laser or GPS, and the target was then identified and hit. This type of MK 82 missile has a range of up to 227 kilometers and another type of MK 84 with a range of up to 930 kilometers.

An expert in German Ministry of Defense confirmed the use of German weapons by Turkish occupation army in its aggression on Afrin, Leopard 2A4 tanks produced in Germany.

Despite the Turkish claims that they are using homemade weapons in their aggression on Afrin, everyone knows that Leopard tank that bombards civilians in Afrin is a German-made tank.

Everyone also knows that AH-Super Cobra helicopters are the mainstay of US Navy, a US-made helicopter that is used today to bomb civilians, as well as the bombing of People and Women Protection Units and Syrian Democratic Forces, which contributed to the eradication of terrorism on behalf of the world. International Community to fight dueling when he stressed that the world should be grateful to those forces for the sacrifices made in the fight against IS mercenaries knowing that the battle of Syrian Democratic Forces is not over yet and continues in Deir ez-Zor province, northeast of Syria.

No one can deny that the F-16 warplanes are also American-made and used by Turkish occupation army and continue to kill civilians and destroy archaeological sites by targeting the site of Ain Dara and the Temple of Nabi Hori, all of which amounted to war crimes from the international law point of view.

After Turkey used German Leopard 2 tanks in its aggression against Afrin and killed its civilians, Turkey transferred US M-60 tanks to the area for use in killing civilians in Afrin.

With all these horrifying figures and horrific facts caused by Turkish occupation army and with him remnants of al-Qaeda and IS mercenaries, the world is still silent and NATO still sees every day how to use its weapons in war crimes, without taking any action to deter Turkey from its crimes.
