Turkish occupation mercenaries kidnapped three young men from the village of Kafr Safra, located in the Jandaris district of the occupied Afrin countryside, yesterday evening, while they were attending a funeral, according to local sources.

The sources explained that the mercenaries raided the funeral tent in five vehicles and took the three young men to an unknown location. Their families have refrained from revealing their identities for fear of harassment and threats following the kidnapping.

Testimonies from inside the village indicated that six residents of the Sheikh Maqsoud neighborhood in Aleppo had come to Kafr Safra to offer their condolences to their relatives, before mercenaries raided the place and kidnapped three of them.

This escalation comes just three days after a systematic looting campaign took place in the village of Bouzika in the occupied Afrin countryside, carried out by masked gunmen affiliated with the occupation mercenaries.
