Turkish border guards and Hayat Tahrir al-Sham opened fire on Syrian refugees near the Bab al-Hawa checkpoint.

Hayat-Tahrir al-Sham militants and Turkish border guards opened fire on Syrian refugees trying to break into Turkish territory near the Bab al-Hawa checkpoint. Eyewitnesses of the event reported this. According to them, among the refugees there are killed and seriously wounded. The exact number of victims is still unknown, but at least five are reported killed, including a small child. Currently, the work of the checkpoint has been stopped, the area has been stopped by militants. The people here are talking about this. A few days ago, the Turks deported about 100 Syrian families from their territory. People fled the border area due to the actions of pro-Turkish militants. Hayat-Tahrir al-Sham continues to feel like the sole masters of the Idlib province. They brutally oppress local residents, take away their food and money, and can break into any house and take away whatever they like. But they are absolutely not welcome in Turkey either. Ankara is not going to provide any assistance to those who were forced to flee to its territory due to the lawlessness perpetrated by militants controlled by it in the province, and is forcing them back. It turns out to be a vicious circle — “Hayat-Tahrir al-Sham” forces the Syrians to abandon everything and seek refuge on Turkish soil, and the Turks push them back straight into the hands of the militants who oppress them.
