According to local reports from the Aleppo Governorate, the clashes broke out between Jabhat Al-Shamiya (Levant Front) and Jaysh Al-Islam (Army of Islam) in the Afrin region, resulting in a heavy exchange of gunfire in a number of neighborhoods.
The reports said the conflict between the two large militant factions occurred over the control of some residential buildings inside the Afrin region of the Aleppo Governorate.Furthermore, a local from Afrin told RT Arabic on Saturday: “The reason for these clashes between the Turkish-backed factions is due to their difference over the sharing of the properties of the city’s original residents.”
He added, “Members of Jabhat Al-Shamiya confiscated the money from a number of Jaysh Al-Islam elements coming from Libya, and after that, clashes erupted. ”
Local Syrian activists also confirmed that two members of Jaysh Al-Islam were killed and about 12 others were wounded as a result of Jabhat Al-Shamiya’s attacks on the former’s headquarters in the city center.
