SDF hits bases in the Turkish occupied zone of northern Syria

The SDF continues its series of reprisal attacks against bases in the Turkish occupied zone of northern Syria.

The Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) continued their retaliatory attacks against Turkish bases in the occupied areas of Rojava.

As the SDF press office announced on Thursday, its units recently attacked two bases in the area surrounding the district of Ain Issa. At least one soldier was killed and four other soldiers were reportedly injured. It is also said that the Turkish army's armaments were destroyed.

The SDF's retaliatory strikes targeted bases near the towns of Dibis and Seyda. Both villages are close to the line of contact with the town of Girê Spî (Tall Abyad) further north, which, like Serêkaniyê, was occupied by Turkey and its jihadist allies in October 2019.

According to the SDF, the attack near Seyda resulted in the death of one soldier and a second was injured. In addition, the base's radar system, camera surveillance system and a watchtower were destroyed. The attack on the base near Dibis left three soldiers injured, in addition to an unknown number of occupiers killed. "In addition, an armored vehicle and fortifications were effectively targeted," said the SDF.

The SDF's retaliatory strikes against Turkish bases come in response to Turkey's deadly airstrikes in the autonomous region of northern and eastern Syria, particularly the 29 members of the Asayîş security agency who were killed in bombings of their operations center in Dêrik (Al-Malikiya) on Sunday night.

According to SDF information, the retaliatory attacks carried out near Ain Issa took place on October 9th and 10th - on the anniversary of the start of the Turkish jihadist war of aggression against Serêkaniyê and Girê Spî.
