SDF are confronting the Turkish army and jihadist mercenaries who have intensified their attacks on northern Syria in recent weeks in violation of so-called ceasefire agreements and international law.
The Press Office of Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) released a statement on the attacks of the Turkish state and allied mercenaries on Ain Issa district in northern Syria.
SDF reported intensified attacks on Ain Issa line in recent days, remarking that through these attacks, the Turkish-backed mercenaries seek to increase their dominance on M4 highway and to expand their wave of aggression against the region.
The attacks of the invaders were mostly repelled as result of the response from SDF fighters, the statement said.
SDF stated that the Turkish army and allied mercenaries attacked the villages of Mişêrfa (Al-Mushairfa) and Cehbel (al-Jahbal) in Ain Issa district with UAV support on December 27. Surroundings of both villages were heavily bombarded, the statement noted.
“As a result of the immediate response of our forces resulted in heavy fighting in the area of the two villages on 27-28 December and the attacks of the gangs were repelled.”
SDF reported that 5 of their fighters, 4 of them from the Democratic Brigade al-Shimal (Lîwa El-Şimal El-Demokrat), fell as martyrs during the attacks of the Turkish state and mercenaries.
SDF extended their condolences to the families of the martyrs and to the people and reiterated their promise to defend their lands.
