Ongoing violations by Turkish border guards | Two civilians injured while attempting to cross Syria-Turkey border in northern Idlib countryside

Idlib province: Two civilians were sustained various injuries due to being directly shot by Turkish border guards “Jandarma”, while attempting to cross Syria-Turkey border through smuggling routes in Al-Jawz village in northern Idlib countryside.
This comes in light of ongoing violations by Turkish border guards “Jandarma” against civilians seeking safe haven, while the fate of many civilians who crossed into Turkey in previous time remains unknown.

Accordingly, the number of civilians killed by Turkish border guards (Jandarma) since early 2023 in different areas near the Syria-Turkey border has increased to 24. In addition, 39 civilians, including a child and three women, were injured in gunfire by Turkish Jandarma in the same period. The fatalities are distributed regionally as follows:
