On 16th July 2023, a male civilian was reportedly injured by a Turkish drone strike on a car in the village of Hasan Agha, located to the south of the city of Manbij.

44 year-old Ahmed Al-Jassem was injured and taken to the nearest hospital for treatment and has subsequently been released.

An initial Facebook post published by the Manbij Military Council Media Center alleged that the strike on a civilian vehicle took place at around 11:30 am. However, both the Syrian Observatory of Human Rights and the North Press reported that Ahmed Al-Jassem was injured by the Turkish strike on a military vehicle of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF).  A further Facebook post by Minbij News reported that the incident left one member of SDF dead and two others injured.
