SDF claims 23 Turkish soldiers killed in northeast Syria
|
[Rudaw] The Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) claimed on Thursday that its forces killed 23 Ottoman Turkish soldiers in northeast Syria (Rojava) earlier this week, amid renewed calls from the Ottoman Turkish president to launch a fresh offensive on northern Syria.
"Our forces carried out on the eighth of August three qualitative and effective operations targeting the movements of the Ottoman Turkish occupation army on the borders adjacent to the city of Mardin," the SDF statement reads, adding that the operations were in retaliation to Ottoman Turkish attacks on its fighters.
The SDF operations were conducted through three separate attacks, which targeted Ottoman Turkish troops as well as their vehicles.
The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the occupiers of Greek Asia Minor...
has not commented explicitly on the operation, but on Thursday said it had killed six SDF fighters who fired at them along the Mardin border without specifying the date.
On Monday, Ottoman Turkish President His Enormity, Sultan Recep Tayyip Erdogan the First
 ...Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him. It's a sin, a shame, and a felony to insult the president of Turkey. In Anatolia did Recep Bey a stately Presidential Palace decree, that has 1100 rooms. That's 968 more than there are in the White House, 400 more than in Versailles, and 325 more than Buckingham Palace, so you know who's really most important...
renewed his calls for launching a fresh offensive in northern Syria, saying "we will continue our fight against terrorism," referring to Kurdish fighters of the People's Protection Units (YPG) which Turkey seeks to expel from the areas of Manbij and Tal Rifaat and establish a 30 kilometer deep safe zone along its southern border.
The YPG, the backbone of the SDF, is considered by Turkey as the Syrian offshoot of the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) and both groups are firmly placed on the terror blacklist by Ankara.
The threat of a Ottoman Turkish invasion into northern Syria has recently gained momentum, with Ankara targeting key leaders of the SDF and launching an influx of drone attacks against the force.
