The home of Kurdish journalist @serdar_melah in Ras al-Ayn was confiscated by a member of the Hamza Division, a Turkish-backed Syrian faction. Sources within the factions confirm to me large-scale seizure of homes and cars from locals, regardless of whether they have ties to YPG.pic.twitter.com/IQnK6DtSX7

* Over time, coordination between factions improved concerning movement of looted goods out of the area & proper division of spoils. Initial lack of coordination hindered movement of larger items such cars and trucks carrying stolen flour through checkpoints of different factions

* Turkish-backed Syrian National Army (SNA) fighters stole cars of locals & took them apart to make smuggling of parts into Turkey easier. * SNA stole hundreds of tons of flour. Most of the profits go to commanders, but fighters get a cut too.

* SNA confiscates homes & cars of civilians accusing them of ties to the SDF while knowing these are false claims. * A local took his valuable vehicle to SDF areas to prevent it from being stolen. SNA arrested his family to coerce him to return the vehicle, which they confiscated
