Qamishlo- On May 31, 2024, the Turkish drones targeted Til Koçer and Til Hemis, towns in Jazira Canton of North and East Syria. After the Turkish drone attacks, the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) announced that four SDF fighters were killed and 11 civilians were seriously injured in the attacks. In addition, Turkish warplanes targeted the members of the Heyva Sor a Kurd (Kurdish Red Crescent) while on the way to help the injured people.

‘11 people from the same family were injured’

 Emşa Mûsa (50) is a mother of three living in the Temîm village of Til Hemîs. The Turkish drones targeted their home and agricultural lands on May 31. She and her family were attacked by Turkish drones while they were trying to put out the fire that started in their agricultural lands due to the first attack; she and 10 members of her family were injured in the attack.

“The Turkish state attacked us twice,” she said in an interview with NuJINHA. “The first attack was at 3 p.m. and started a fire in our agricultural lands. It attacked us again while we were trying to put out the fire. My bones were broken in the attack and I should undergo a surgery now.”

‘What do they want from us?’

All Emşa Mûsa wants is to live in peace, away from attacks. “They (The Turkish state) should allow us to live in peace. There is only this desert, we have nothing else. We earn a living from our agricultural lands. What do they want from us? Why do they attack us? The attacks destroyed our home, our lands, our farming equipment. About 10 sacks of our crops were burned in the attacks.”
