The Syrian Democratic Forces are engaging in historic resistance against the Turkish occupation and its mercenaries in the northern and eastern regions of Syria, inflicting significant losses upon them.

“On the fronts of the southeastern countryside of Manbij, fierce clashes erupted between our fighters and Turkish occupation mercenaries. Commencing at five o’clock in the evening last Friday and continuing until the next day at 11:00 AM on Saturday, these engagements resulted in the elimination of 23 mercenaries and the wounding of 36 others, some of them severely wounded. The extent of further injuries among their ranks remains uncertain. Due to the severity of our SDF’s strikes, the mercenaries flee from the battlefield, and others escort the wounded to hospitals, begging the doctors to hang serums for them, pretending to be injured to avoid being returned to the frontlines and face our forces. This reveals a state of frustration and significant psychological distress among the mercenaries’ ranks,” said the SDF Media Center on Sunday.

The statement added: “Despite the ferocity of the battles and the aerial bombardment by Turkish warplanes and UCAVs, our SDF forces demonstrated heroic resistance, repelling all enemy attacks over the past two days. Three of our SDF fighters were martyred during these clashes.”
