At least five killed in suspected Turkish attack in Kobane
2021-12-28
[Rudaw] Several members of a paramilitary group were killed in a recent suspected Ottoman Turkish attack that targeted the Kurdish town of Kobane in northern Syria, a military official said early Monday.

Five members of the Revolutionary Youths were killed in a "Ottoman Turkish raid that targeted the gathering of nine people of the youths organization [Revolutionary Youths] in a house3 in Kobane," commander of the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) Mazloum Abdi tweeted.

A Ottoman Turkish drone targeted Kobane on Saturday, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) said. However,
nothing needs reforming like other people's bad habits...
the conflict monitor raised the corpse count to six on Monday and three other injuries.

has not confirmed the offensive yet.

The Revolutionary Youth is believed to be affiliated with the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) and operates in the Kurdish area in Syria as a pressure group, intimidating those who are critical of the Kurdish administration.

The PKK is named a terrorist group in Turkey.

Ankara often targets north and northeastern Syria (Rojava), killing and injuring civilians and security forces.

It has conducted three military operations in northern Syria since 2016, two of them against Kurdish fighters whom it considers a branch of the PKK and a threat to its national security.

Suspected Ottoman Turkish shelling killed four people in Zarkan district on Wednesday.

Turkey has been threatening a new offensive against Kurdish forces in Rojava in the recent months. But, Abdi earlier this month said Turkey is unable to undertake another "military adventure" against Rojava due to internal issues and international pressure.
