"Protecting the dam is a duty for each of us, as any defect in the dam portends a disaster that may befall the region, and we are ready to fight and stand against these attacks," she added.

She called on the international community and international organizations to stop the attacks and stand with the people of NE Syria and express their position on these attacks.
