The dam's strategic location is critical for Turkey and the SNA, as its capture could pave the way for an advance into other parts of northeast Syria (Rojava).
The attacks came after HTS leader and Syria’s interim President Ahmed al-Sharaa and SDF chief Mazloum Abdi put pen to paper on a landmark deal that would see the SDF integrated into the Syrian security apparatus.
Included in the agreement is a ceasefire across the country.
According to the SDF, Ottoman Turkish drones were also spotted in the skies above the symbolic Kurdish city of Kobane and Ain Issa.
On Monday, a suspected Ottoman Turkish dronezap on Sarrin town south of Kobane killed one child and injured two more people.
Rojava authorities have expressed grave concerns about attacks on the Tishreen Dam, warning that the constant attacks could lead to its collapse and a potential human catastrophe.
