The crimes against the people of occupied Afrin continue with the start of the olive harvest season, as Turkish occupation mercenaries and settlers have intensified their looting of crops and attacks on civilians in various cities and towns of Afrin.

Widespread Looting of Olive Crops in Rajo, Bulbul, and Shara

In the city of Rajo, mercenaries looted the harvest from 100 trees belonging to Amin Rashid, and 200 trees belonging to the family of the late Bilal Bilal in the village of Atmana.

In the village of Sheikh Bilal, mercenaries also looted approximately 150 sacks (13.5 tons) of olives belonging to several families who were awaiting approval from the so-called "Economic Committee."

In the town of Bulbul, settlers stole the harvest from 50 trees belonging to Mustafa Ahmad Ma'moush and 60 trees belonging to Muhammad Issa Ma'moush in the village of Kutana.

Nihad Madwar Omar, a resident of the village of Bileh, reported that mercenaries from the "Economic Office," known as "Abu Bakri" and "Abu Khalid," looted 250 sacks (22 tons) of the harvest from 900 trees near the village of Darwish. This occurred despite his having submitted his paperwork to the "Economic Committee" and awaiting approval. He confirmed that he had filed a complaint but received no response.

In a similar incident, Haider Ba'aj, a leader of the Turkish-backed "9th Division" mercenaries, prevented Ahmad Sido Ali from harvesting the crop from 100 trees near the village of Diki, claiming he had already sold them.

Furthermore, the harvest from 300 trees belonging to Farouk Hussein in the village of Sa'rinjak, in the city of Shara, was looted, despite him having obtained official permission to harvest.

Several villages in Shara and Bulbul, including Bileh, Qizilbash, Darwish, Aljia, Daraqliya, Sa'riya, Zaytunak, Umar Samu, Haftar, Shikhurziya, and Abudan, witnessed widespread looting by mercenaries. These mercenaries formed labor workshops to seize the crops from dozens of fields belonging to Afrin residents.

Among the stolen fields were:

- 1,000 trees belonging to Faiq Ahmad Sheikh Ismail Zadeh.

- 200 trees belonging to the family of the late Anwar Muhammad Sheikh Ismail Zadeh in the village of Zaytunak.

A house was raided and its contents stolen in Bulbul.

On the night of November 10, Turkish occupation mercenaries, accompanied by settlers, raided the home of lawyer Bayram in the village of Kila while he was away. They looted the front door, windows, other doors, the living room, a television, and other belongings, using a truck to transport the stolen goods.

A citizen was injured in a shooting near Midanki.

in a separate incident, Mahmoud Shukri Mohammed, 50, known as "Khoja," from the village of Damliya in Rajo, was shot by unknown gunmen who attempted to force open the door of the car repair shop where he and his son were sleeping on the road to Midanki village in the early hours of Sunday, November 16.

According to eyewitnesses, the gunmen opened fire after being discovered, resulting in Khoja sustaining injuries and fractures to his legs.
