Two Syrian young men were killed Sunday by gunfire from the terrorist organization YPG/SDF in separate attacks in northeastern Syria.
Alikhbariah TV said one of the youths was shot dead in Hasakah city, while the other was killed in the village of al-Ghariqa in the countryside of Qamishli.
In a related development, the broadcaster said the SDF launched a series of raids on several villages and arrested a number of young men in the vicinity of al-Darbasiyah, north of Hasakah.
The attacks came one day after the Syrian government extended a ceasefire with the SDF by 15 days on Saturday.
The announcement came hours after the Syrian government said a four-day truce with the SDF had ended and that authorities were considering their next steps following the expiration of that agreement.
