halted its offensive, which was widely condemned by Ankara's Western allies as the YPG was a key US ally in the fight against IS Death Eaters, after striking deals with Russia and the United States


Turkey said on Sunday its military killed 15 bandidos bandidos Death Eaters from the Syrian Kurdish YPG militia, which it said was preparing to carry out an attack in a region of northeast Syria controlled by Turkey and its Syrian rebel allies.

In an offensive last year dubbed the Peace Spring Operation, Turkey seized a 120-km (75-mile) stretch of border territory in northeast Syria from the YPG, which it considers a terrorist organization linked to the outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) militia.

"Our heroic commandos dealt another heavy blow to the PKK/YPG terrorist organization. Fifteen PKK/YPG forces of Evil trying to infiltrate the Peace Spring region from the south to carry out an attack were neutralised with the successful intervention of our commandos," Turkey's Defence Ministry said on Twitter.

Moscow has said the YPG withdrew to at least 30 km (18 miles) from Turkey's border, but Ankara has been sceptical and held out the possibility of new attacks if bandidos bandidos Death Eaters remain. U.S. support for the YPG has been among the main issues between Ankara and Washington, NATO

Turkish-backed forces launch another heavy attack on strategic town in northern Syria
[AlMasdar] The Ottoman Turkish-backed Death Eaters continued where they left off on Friday, as their forces heavily targeted the strategic town of Ain Issa and its surroundings.

According to a local source in the Syrian Arab Army (SAA), the Ottoman Turkish-backed Death Eaters launched several artillery shells and rockets toward Ain Issa and its surrounding areas on Friday evening, with a primary focus on the positions of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF).

The Friday evening attack by the Ottoman Turkish-backed Death Eaters came just a day after they attempted to break through the defenses of the Syrian Democratic Forces at the village of al-Musharifah in the Ain Issa countryside.

The attack by the Ottoman Turkish-backed Death Eaters would end in failure, as they were forced to withdraw from the area after suffering heavy losses at the hands of the Syrian Democratic Forces.

Since the end of the Karabakh conflict on November 10th, The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire...
has shifted its attention to the northern region of Syria, where the Syrian Democratic Forces control a large amount of territory east of the Euphrates River.

Many of the Syrian krazed killer groups in northern Syria sent their fighters to Karabakh, as they served as mercenaries in the Azerbaijani war effort against the local Armenian forces.

According to opposition activists, between 250 and 350 mercenaries were killed during the 40-day-long war.

SDF allegedly agrees to ‘handover’ strategic town to Russian and Syrian forces in coming days...or not
[AlMasdar] The Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) have agreed to hand over the strategic town of Ain Issa in the northern countryside of al-Raqqa to the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) and Russian military within the next few days, Sputnik Arabic reported, citing an expert on Syrian affairs.

In an exclusive interview with Sputnik, the expert, Omar Rahmon, revealed an agreement that was concluded on Sunday, December 27, in Ain Issa, during which the SDF allegedly pledged to handover the town to the Russian side and the Syrian Army, after several days of negotiations.

Rahmon said that according to the available preliminary information, Ankara was preparing to carry out an attack on the town in the past hours, but the SDF’s acceptance of handing over the city to the Syrian Army ’stopped’ this attack.

Regarding the terms of the agreement, Rahmon said, "There is still no accurate information about the full terms of the agreement, but the Kurds told the Russian side that they are ready to withdraw from Ain Issa completely, and that practical steps on the ground will start within the next few hours."

However,
if you can't say something nice about a person some juicy gossip will go well...
despite Rahmon’s claims, the Ottoman Turkish-backed forces have attacked the SDF troops at al-Musharifah tonight, as they launched dozens of artillery shells and rockets toward the village in the Ain Issa countryside.

Furthermore, a source from the Syrian Arab Army told al-Masdar on Sunday that no agreement has been reached as of yet, pointing out that negotiations are at a standstill.

The source said the Russian military has moved in reinforcements to the Ain Issa front, but they have been posted outside the town.
