"In light of the continued aggressive escalation by the Turkish occupation state on the regions of North and East Syria, the occupation forces recently targeted the Tishreen Dam, which is a vital artery that provides water and electricity to the Syrians. These attacks on vital infrastructure threaten a humanitarian and environmental disaster, and come within a plan to weaken the foundations of life in the region and increase the suffering of our people.

We, in the General Command of the Internal Security Forces in the North and East of Syria region, strongly condemn these attacks that target defenseless civilians and infrastructure, in a flagrant violation of all international laws and norms. We affirm our commitment to protecting our people and facing current challenges, and we call on the international community to assume its responsibilities and put an end to these ongoing crimes against our people and our regions.
