Infighting between Turkish-allied factions in the northern Syrian city of Afrin has left one fighter killed and another wounded, local activists told Zaman al-Wasl Saturday.
The clash took place between Ahrar al-Sham movement and al-Hamza Division in Korkan village near Afrin city.
The pro-Ankara Syrian forces, who helped the Turkish army oust Kurdish militia from Afrin in 2018, are an umbrella grouping of fighting brigades trained by Turkey into an increasingly effective fighting unit, according to AFP.
Ankara calls these Syrian forces the Free Syrian Army (FSA) but in reality they are made out of different components that crystallised during the course of Syria's 11-year war.
