SDF fighters repel attack on M4 highway

Attempts to occupy the strategically important M4 highway continue.

The occupant Turkish army and allied gangs have carried out an aggression on the international M4 highway. The aggression was carried out from Gantari village of Ain Issa from three sides.

Fighters of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) responded to the attack and the repelled the Turkish forces and their allied ISIS/Al-Nusra mercenaries who have been gathered together by Turkey under a new name of “Syrian National Army”.

The villages around Til Temir and the small town of Ain Issa on the strategically important M4 highway are the focus of the invasion troops. The region lies outside the targeted "safe zone", a thirty-kilometer-deep strip on the Turkish border, and is being attacked unabated. The Til Temir district consists of 180 villages and is crossed by the M4 highway, an important target for invading troops, located between Kobane and Ain Issa.

The region has become one of the most severely attacked targets in Northern Syria during recent weeks. Turkey's attacks are aimed at expanding the occupied zone to the south and taking control of the strategically important M4 highway.
