QAMISHLI, Syria – Turkey intensified its airstrikes against Kurdish groups in Syria and northern Iraq in retaliation for the deaths of 12 Turkish soldiers in Iraq over the weekend.
The Turkish defense ministry said in a statement Monday that it had killed at least 26 militants in the strikes.
In northeast Syria, at least eight civilians were killed in Turkish airstrikes Monday, including two women, Farhad Shami, a spokesman for the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces, said in a post on X, formerly Twitter.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a United Kingdom-based war monitor, said 12 others were wounded.
because turkey is in NATO they can do whatever
it’s rather because Iraq is destroyed by U.S. and Syria by its psychopath prince
Turkey has no state neighbors to its south-east 🤷
This and instead of working with Turkey who is a legitimate partner in fight against terror, US decided to arm the very terrorists whom they listed in their own terrorists list to utilize in the region. In response to Turkey’s objections in a serious announcement US said “look these guys are not the same guys as PKK, they call themselves a different name PYD/YPG/SDF whatever” even though they use the same flag, same leaders, same ideology, same figthers and see Turkey as the enemy. In the coming years Turkey’s NATO membership and US relations is gonna get more and more strained.
