8 martyrs, 55 injured by Turkish occupation attacks on protesters

The Turkish occupation committed two horrific massacres against the people of North and East Syria within a week, claiming the lives of eight civilians amid systematic silence from international and global human rights organizations, as well as key actors in the Syrian conflict.

Since December 8, 2024, the Turkish occupying state has been launching attacks on the North and East Syria region, primarily targeting vital infrastructure, with Tishrin Dam being the main focus. The dam supplies water and electricity to most areas of North and East Syria, as well as Aleppo.

To stop the Turkish occupation and its mercenaries from attacking Tishrin Dam, convoys of civilians headed toward the dam on January 8 to protect it. However, the Turkish occupation directly targeted the civilians.

January 8

On January 8, a convoy consisting of thousands of residents from North and East Syria was bombed while traveling on the road between the city of Serrin and Tishrin Dam. The attack resulted in the martyrdom of three civilians and left 15 others injured.

January 15

On January 15, another convoy heading toward the dam was shelled on the road connecting Serrin and Tishrin Dam, leading to the martyrdom of one civilian and the injury of four others.

As another convoy from the Euphrates Canton reached Tishrin Dam, the Turkish occupation bombed the gathering point of the civilians, resulting in the martyrdom of three more civilians and the injury of 19 others.

January 16

On January 16, the protesters at Tishrin Dam were once again targeted by airstrikes. The attack led to the martyrdom of one civilian and left 17 others injured, including three journalists.
