ANHA reported that the Turkish state has cleared its border with Tirîxim village 15 km to the west of Jarablus from mines and transported jihadist gangs across the border.

Local sources state that hundreds of Turkish, Chechen, and Afghan gangs cross the border and reached Jarablus.

By clearing its border with Jarablus from mines and transporting jihadist gangs across the border, the Turkish state hopes that the gangs will reoccupy the villages of Manbij.
