ANKARA 

The people of Tel Abyad in northern Syria on Sunday protested the killing of a child by the PKK/YPG terror group.

Dozens of civilians gathered in the town center, carrying placards in Arabic that read: "PKK's terror will not end without an operation" and "The hands of traitors reach even our children."

Speaking to Anadolu, Tel Abyad local council president Salih Hac Abdullah said the PKK terror group has maintained its existence by targeting civilians since its founding.

"They are a terrorist organization that does not recognize international law," he said.

The terror group killed a child on Saturday in an attack launched from the Ayn al-Arab district in Syria's Aleppo province.

The terrorists from Ayn al-Arab targeted the village on the western front of Tel Abyad with ground-to-ground weapons.
