Kurdish-led fighters fully withdraw from Syria’s Ras al-Ain
2019-10-21
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Kurdish-led forces fully withdrew on Sunday from the Ottoman Turkish-besieged Syrian border town of Ras al-Ain, an AFP news hound and a war monitor said.

AFP earlier reported that a convoy carrying maimed and fighters from the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces left the Ottoman Turkish-besieged Syrian border town of Ras al-Ain on Sunday.

The news hound saw at least 50 vehicles including ambulances leaving the town hospital and flames erupt from the medical facility shortly after their departure.

Dozens of fighters in military attire left on pickups, passing by checkpoints manned by Ankara-allied Syrian fighters, the news hound said.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a war monitor with sources inside Syria, said the ambulances were transporting maimed civilians and fighters.
