Speaking to Ronahi TV, SDF General Commander Mazlum Abdi stated that the Turkish state has bombed many areas of Rojava from Shehba to Derik with warplanes on Saturday night.

They have planned to attack for a year

Abdi said: “In these attacks, no distinction was made between our civilians and our military points. No distinction was made between the Syrian state forces and our forces. We have some martyrs and wounded. According to the information we have received, the attacks will continue for a while. It is clear that we have nothing to do with the terrorist attack that took place in Istanbul. The whole world knows this. "No Kurdish side has anything to do with the terrorist attack targeting civilians."

Taksim bomb bears all the marks of Turkish intelligence

As for the Taksim attack, Abdi said “This attack bears all the marks of Turkish intelligence.” He said it was an attack carried out by mercenaries affiliated with the Turkish state, and added:

“They want to blame our forces for it. Everyone should know that the preparations for the attacks taking place now have been going on for a year. But the Turkish state justified the Istanbul attack.”

Everyone will suffer from this war

Abdi said that the Turkish state wants to take its "revenge" on the people of Rojava and their gains and to evacuate the region, and added that "this is Erdogan's game about the elections. Such attacks can never break our will. Our strength was ready for these attacks. Therefore, we do not think that they will cause great harm to our forces. But if the Turkish state continues its attacks, everyone will suffer from it. We don't want a big war to break out. But if the Turkish state insists on war against us, we are ready for a great resistance. The war is not only limited to here, it spreads everywhere and everyone is affected by this war. We should make everyone involved stand up for their duties and stop the brutal attacks of the Turkish state."

Abdi said: “According to the information we received, the bombardment will continue for a little longer. In the current situation, there is no Turkish mobility on land anywhere. We also took our precautions as military, but we must act according to safety directives so that our people are not harmed.”
