Many people have been killed in rare clashes between Assyrian Christians and Kurds in Syria’s al-Hasakah province in Syria. Assyrian and Kurdish sources said there were casualties among fighters in the battle between the Kurdish People’s Protection Units (YPG) and Assyrians in the city of Qamishli yesterday. At least one Assyrian and eight Kurdish fighters were killed.
Taj Kordsh, a Kurd from the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), confirmed that the clashes broke out because of the checkpoints, but gave a different death toll. Two Assyrian fighters were killed in the clashes and five others were injured. He added that a civilian had also been killed.
