A source from Afrin canton told ANHA agency that on Tuesday morning, strong clashes broke out between the Turkish occupation army and Lewa al-Hamzat mercenaries, and the clashes centered on the entrance of Afrin city at al-Feal Street.

The source said that according to the information received, the Turkish army had asked Lewa al-Hamzat mercenaries to get out of Afrin city and go to the districts, but the mercenaries refused this decision and insisted to stay in the city, and that prompted the Turkish occupation army to threaten them which led to breaking out clashes that developed to bombing their positions by the Turkish occupation army.

Furthermore, the city is still witnessing tense and alert state.
