MOSCOW (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 08th November, 2019) Turkish troops have injured at least 10 people in the Syrian city of Al-Malikiyah who were protesting against patrols in northern Syria, a spokesman for the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), Mustafa Bali, said on Friday."Turkish troops targeted civilians peacefully protesting against the patrols in al-Malikiya/Derik with tear gas and injured 10 people.

Turkey's Operation Peace Spring in northeastern Syria targeted Kurdish militia, seen as terrorists by Ankara. Damascus has condemned the operation as a violation of Syria's sovereignty.
On October 22, Turkey and Russia concluded a memorandum that details conditions for the peaceful retreat of the Kurdish forces 30 kilometers (18.6 miles) away from the Turkish border. The 10-point document also set up patrol missions for the Russian military contingent in Syria and Turkish troops in order to ensure the deal's implementation.
