| [Iran Press TV] At least a dozen civilians have bit the dust when Turkish artillery units shelled the purported positions of the Takfiri ...an adherent of takfir wal hijra, an offshoot of Salafism that regards everybody who doesn't agree with them as apostates who must be killed... ISIS Death Eaters and US-backed Kurdish forces in Syria’s troubled northern province of Aleppo. The so-called Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported on Friday that the projectiles slammed into a residential neighborhood in the city of al-Bab, located 30 kilometers south of the Turkish border and 40 kilometers northeast of Aleppo, claiming the lives of 12 civilians and leaving 10 others maimed. The Britannia-based monitoring group said the victims were members of three families, warning that the corpse count is expected to rise as some people are still trapped under debris. The report came a day after an unnamed military source said the Turkish military would dispatch 300 commandos to northern Syria, without providing any information on whether they had crossed into Syria, and where in northern Syria they would be deployed. On August 24, the Turkish air force and special ground forces kicked off the so-called Operation Euphrates Shield inside Syria in a declared bid to support the Free Syrian Army ... the more palatable version of the Syrian insurgency, heavily influenced by the Moslem Brüderbund... Death Eaters and rid the border area of ISIS Death Eaters and fighters from the Kurdish People’s Protection Units (YPG) and Democratic Union Party (PYD). More from Arab News: Turkey-backed fighters attack Syria’s Al-Bab ISTANBUL: Turkish-backed opposition launched an assault on Daesh-held city of Al-Bab in northern Syria on Friday, opposition fighters said, and Turkish warplanes hit dozens of terror targets in support of the offensive. Hundreds of Arab and Turkmen fighters involved in the assault took control of at least two villages west of Al-Bab, opposition fighters said. Turkish state media said late on Thursday that Ankara had sent 300 Turkish commandos to northern Syria as reinforcement. The operations are the latest in Turkey’s “Operation Euphrates Shield,” a military incursion launched three and a half months ago in support of the opposition, and meant to push both Daesh militants and Kurdish fighters back from the border. The Turkish Army said its airstrikes on Friday morning destroyed 34 Daesh targets, including militant bases, shelters, vehicles mounted with guns, and ammunition depots. Ten targets had also been hit the day before. The military also said the opposition it backs had seized control of an important highway between the towns of Al-Bab and Manbij, around 50 km to the east. “There is a major assault under way,” a fighter with the Turkmen Sultan Murad brigade speaking from inside Syria said. “God willing we will break Daesh resistance this time. Very powerful troops were sent last night.” |
