The operation was started with an immediate participation of Syrian armed opposition groups, incorporated under the name the National Army, which is affiliated with the Syrian Interim Government, an offshoot of the Syrian National Coalition (SNC). The day before the military operation began, the Coalition made a statement advocating the Turkish announcement concerning an imminent military action in the region.<\/p>\n<p>On 7 October, Salim Idris, the Minister of Defense of the Syrian Interim Government, stated that the National Army had completed the necessary training for the upcoming military operation in northeastern Syria.

The witness\/ source explained:<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cIn mid-November 2019, [Ibrahim] was able to communicate with the fighters of \u2018Sultan Murad\u2019 division, operating under the second legion of the Syrian National Army, after he learned that the group was controlling his household utensils\u2019 factory, located near \u2018Mishrafa\u2019 village, 5 km south of Ras al-Ayn\/Ser\u00ea Kaniy\u00ea. He tried to negotiate with group to allow him to transfer the factory&#8217;s equipment.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>3. Asking the Victim to Pay Money to Allow Him Move His Factory\u2019s Equipment:<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Ibrahim al-Youssef\u2019s efforts to move his factory\u2019s equipment to Raqqa failed, because he could not secure crane machines to dismantle the equipment and transport them in a timely manner, not to mention that the fighters of the \u201cSultan Murad\u201d Division dismantled the factory\u2019s machinery later and transferred them to one of their centers. Commenting on this, the witness \/ source said:<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cThe fighters informed [Ibrahim] that they had moved the factory&#8217;s equipment to a safe place so that other armed groups would not steal it. Then, they asked him to pay them a sum of money, in exchange for allowing him to move the factory&#8217;s equipment to Raqqa, providing him no guarantees, however.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>4. Killing the Displaced Man and Seizing His Factory\u2019s Equipment:<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Negotiations between Ibrahim and the fighters of the &#8220;Sultan Murad&#8221; Division continued for about three months, but the fighters refused to send him the factory equipment, and they asked him to come in person to have the machines. On 23 March 2020, Ibrahim decided to go to Ras al-Ayn\/Ser\u00ea Kaniy\u00ea as to find a means to get his factory\u2019s equipment back. Nonetheless, Ibrahim did not expect what was a head of him. The witness\/sources added:<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cThe fighters of [Sultan Murad] arrested [Ibrahim al-Youssef] once he arrived into to Ras al-Ayn\/Ser\u00ea Kaniy\u00ea, because he demanded that they hand him his factory\u2019s equipment. On 25 March 2020, they shot him dead and seized his factory, which contained equipment worth about $ 230,000 US Dollars.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Sultan Murad&#8221; Division then informed the al-Youssef\u2019s family that they killed their son, a married man and a father, on the pretext that he was loyalist to the Syrian regime. They also ordered the family not to return to Ras al-Ayn\/Ser\u00ea Kaniy\u00ea again. Despite the family\u2019s appeals, only after many attempts, the fighters agreed to send Ibrahim\u2019s body to his family in Raqqa, where he was buried in his hometown of al-Safira, rural Aleppo.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><a href=\"#_ftnref1\" name=\"_ftn1\">[1]<\/a> \u201cStatement regarding the Peace Spring Operation by Turkey in Northeast Syria,\u201d STJ, 19 October 2019.
