The Turkish Anatolia Agency quoted security sources on Sunday, December 17, 2023, saying, “The intelligence service carried out an operation on December 5 of this year in Deir Ez-Zour, which is about 230 km away from Turkey, against Sherwan Hassan, by targeting him directly, after determining his location,” without specifying the nature of targeting.
