ANHA correspondent in Manbij reported that Turkish-backed mercenaries directly targeted Hassan al-Jassem in the village of al-Dawli in the southern Manbij countryside, critically wounding him. He was subsequently transferred to the hospital, where his condition is described as extremely critical.

According to reports, the mercenaries shot the young man over a $10 ransom.

A video circulated showing several people at the scene of the incident. One of them told the mercenaries deployed in the village that they "killed the man for $10" and that "everything filmed will be made public."

This incident sparked widespread public outrage and anger, reflecting the ongoing security vacuum and the continued killings and abuses perpetrated by these mercenary groups.

Since its occupation late last year, the city of Manbij has witnessed escalating crimes and violations by mercenary groups affiliated with the Turkish occupation, amidst growing public resentment and anger over the mercenaries' actions and crimes against the local population.
