Dramatic New Footage Shows Fierce Fighting as Turkey Launches Syria Strike

🎬 Video
ℹ️ Description

Fighting between the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) and Turkey-backed opposition troops has continued during the night near the Syrian border.

Yesterday Turkey launched a military operation against Kurdish fighters in Syria, with the aim of creating a 32km “safe zone” along the border.

Turkey considers the dominant force in the SDF, the Kurdish YPG militia, as an extension of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ party (PKK).

This comes right after President Donald Trump decided to withdraw US troops from the area, citing a campaign promise.

Kurdish fighters were important allies for the US-led coalition against the Islamic State group in the region.

the deal was kurds do most of the fighting against isis and work with america and america keep turkey away from slaughtering them and they did theirs and youre leaving them. Stop it. Funny how americans now call anyone who don't want to see their allies slaughtered pro war. No Americans have lost their lives being deployed to stop turkey from killing kurds. Any American that has died in syria which is literally like below 10 last time I checked got killed by the now defeated isis. So aka just a few guys deployed stops turkey from slaughtering your allies you had a deal with but that's war mongering okay boys I see.
