Following the extension of the Turkish occupation of northern Syria into the Kurdish-majority Afrin District, reports have emerged of Yazidis in demographically mixed villages of the Kurd-Dagh region being targeted by the Turkish-backed Syrian National Army (SNA) because of their religious identity, as well as having their shrines descrated. As in October 2019 Turkey invaded the north eastern part of Syria several Yazidi villages have been targeted and its habitants fled to the region still under the control of the AANES. Kidnapping of Yazidi women and girls by the SNA is an ongoing problem.
