On the night of Sunday to Monday, the Turkish occupation targeted a farm between the villages of Qomji and Barkh Botan, south of Kobani, with a drone strike. The attack resulted in the martyrdom of seven sibling children: "Ahin, Dicle, Dilovan, Yasser, Fawaz, Salha, and Avesta Osman Abdo," along with their parents, Osman Barkal Abdo and Ghazala Osman Abdo. Additionally, the two sisters, Ronida and Narin Osman Abdo, were injured.

The relatives of the victims of the massacre have called for holding the Turkish occupation accountable for its crimes. Jihan Mustafa, a cousin of the martyr Osman Barkal Abdo, said: "All the victims were children. The occupying Turkish state has committed a massacre with complete brutality."

"Enough massacres!"

She questioned: "What does the occupying Turkish state want from civilians? We say to the occupying Turkish state: Enough of these repeated massacres! How can you talk about peace while committing these massacres? What kind of peace is this?"

"The occupying Turkish state must be held accountable"

Adla Haji, the aunt of the martyr Osman Barkal Abdo, confirmed that the occupying Turkish state targets civilians, saying: "In the month of Ramadan, they broke our hearts. We ask God to break their hearts as they have broken ours. This is a brutal massacre against civilians. Why are they targeting civilians? Where are human rights? Why does the world not see these crimes? Why are they silent? The occupying Turkish state must be held accountable for these massacres."
