The Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) remain steadfast in their resistance within the framework of legitimate defense against the attacks of the Turkish occupation and its mercenaries across all fronts in north and eastern Syria.

In a statement on Saturday, SDF Press Centre said: “In the early hours of Friday morning, the Turkish occupation forces shelled the vicinity of the Tishreen Dam and neighboring villages with heavy artillery. At approximately 1:30 PM yesterday, mercenaries launched an attack on the frontlines near the village of Atshana and Tallat Imam near Khirbet al-Zamala village. Our fighters successfully repelled the attack, damaging a military vehicle belonging to the mercenaries and forcing them to flee the area. Simultaneously, the Turkish occupation intensified the bombardment of the area with heavy artillery, continuing the shelling for hours even after the mercenaries had fled."

SDF fighters also conducted a precise and qualitative operation against mercenaries in the Abu Qalqal axis. SDF Martyr Harun Units targeted gatherings of mercenaries and their military vehicles, resulting in the elimination of 17 mercenaries and the injury of 21 others, including four soldiers from the Turkish occupation forces. Additionally, three armored military vehicles were destroyed. The Turkish occupation UCAVs conducted intensive reconnaissance flights over the region.

One of the SDF fighters was martyred during this operation.

On the Deir Hafer front, Turkish UCAVs conducted continuous reconnaissance flights. SDF Martyr Harun Units successfully targeted and completely destroyed a Toyota military vehicle belonging to the mercenaries. The mercenaries also attempted to target SDF fighters’ positions with two suicide drones, but these attacks caused no damage.
