According to the Violations Documentation Center, "National Army” mercenaries, affiliated with the Turkish occupation state, kidnapped two brothers, Haitham Ali Ali (41 years old) and Rifaat Ali Ali (36 years old) from Jindires, along with their cousin, Rifaat Jamo (45 years old) from the village of Brad in Shirawa. They also kidnapped two brothers, Mansour Ghouthani and Mohammed Ghouthani, who are originally from Daraa province.

Additionally, Turkish mercenaries from the "Sultan Suleiman Shah – Al-Amshat" kidnapped several residents of Qarmatlaq village in shih of Afrin countryside, under the pretext that they failed to pay a $100 tribute imposed on them.

In a related incident, a local source reported that Turkish occupation mercenaries in Azaz kidnapped a citizen named Riyad Abdulrahman Hassan (42 years old) from the village of Talaf, southwest of Afrin, while he was coming from Aleppo. He was taken to the center of Bulbula town in occupied Afrin.

Furthermore, a settler from the Qalamoun region sold a house belonging to a citizen named Musa Abu Musa, near the Ashrafiyeh neighborhood reservoir in Afrin, to another settler named Mohammed Al-Issa Abu Zubair, from southern Aleppo, for $1,300 (as if he owned the house), according to the source.

Moreover, "Al-Hamzat" mercenaries cut down trees and burned fields near Fakira village in Jindires and Zaraa village in Bulbula district of Afrin, destroying thousands of forest trees and woods between the villages of Kafr Janna and Matina, in the Sharran, Afrin countryside.

The Turkish occupation and its mercenaries continue their campaign of kidnappings and violations against the residents and environment of occupied Afrin, aiming to pressure them and enforce demographic change in the region.
