With the entry of the Turkish mercenaries into 22 Yazidi villages, the real tragedy began for the Yazidi community where the mercenaries forced the Yazidi families to adopt Islam forcibly, as well as to pray in the mosques that were houses and seized after taking away their people.

The occupation mercenaries also destroyed the religious shrines specialized to the Yazidis such as the Sheikh Barakat Cemetery in Ain Dara, the shrine of Qere Jarneh near Midanki and the Sheikh Adi Shrine in Qîbar village.

In addition, with the start of the season of harvesting the olive crops, 90% of olive crops belonging to Afrin people have been seized and all the olive crops that belong to the Yazidis have been seized.
