According to reports from the ground, Turkish invasion forces have carried out yet another attack on the town of Til Temir (Tal Tamr) in northern Syria on Friday.

Initial reports say that six fighters of Til Temir Military Council have lost their lives in the attack. Further details about the aggression were not immediately available.

During the ongoing military offensive seeking to invade North and East Syria, which was launched on October 9, Turkish state forces and allied mercenaries have been heavily attacking the area of Til Temir in the Khabour region, inhabited by the Syriac, Assyrian and Christian community.

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.
