Head of US-backed forces in Syria seeks more air defense after deadly drone strike
|
[IsraelTimes] Syrian Democratic Forces commander Mazloum Abdi says Iran-backed attack that killed six of his men is a ’dangerous development,’ but US is committed to bolstering defense
A force that has been the backbone of the US-led campaign against Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
said additional air defenses should be deployed in northeast Syria after six of its fighters were killed in a drone attack it blamed on pro-Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
factions.
Mazloum Abdi, commander of the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces, said his force considered it "a dangerous development when our camps are targeted in drone attacks by factions backed by Iran."
Abdi’s remarks to Rooters from northeast Syria suggest the force’s fighters — deployed alongside US troops to fight remnants of Islamic State — are increasingly vulnerable to widening regional instability in the aftermath of the October 7 Hamas

terror onslaught in southern Israel and subsequent war in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response ...
.
Bases across Syria’s east and northeast hosting US troops and SDF fighters have faced a slew of drone and rocket attacks as pro-Iran militias declaring support for the Paleostinians seek to attack US and Western interests and fight Israel.
A dronezap by Iran-backed turbans on a US outpost in Jordan on January 28 killed three US forces. On February 4, the SDF said an explosive drone attack by Iran-backed gangs in eastern Syria killed six of their fighters.
Asked whether he had requested additional military backing to fend off such attacks, Abdi said his Kurdish-led force would "require technical capabilities and an increase in the aerial defensive systems" deployed in northeast Syria.
"From [the US] side, they confirmed they would try and expend efforts to prevent these attacks," he told Rooters.
In Washington, the Pentagon did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Spearheaded by the Kurdish People’s Protection Units (YPG) and including Arab fighters, the SDF has been a major partner for the US-led coalition against Islamic State over the last decade. It holds a quarter of Syria, including oil fields and areas where some 900 US troops are deployed.
Following rumors that the US was considering pulling those troops out, Abdi said he had received reassurances from the State Department, White House and the Pentagon that their mission would continue.
But he said a withdrawal "is possible in the future... Truthfully, we don’t ask for American troops to stay here forever. That’s not possible."
Abdi warned that any US troop pull-out would "multiply several times over" the threats that the SDF faces from Iran-backed troops, Islamic State and The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...just another cheapjack Moslem dictatorship, brought to you by the Moslem Brüderbund...
, which considers the YPG and the SDF by extension to be "terrorist" groups.
"If American forces do withdraw, depending on the circumstances, naturally we will go towards the plans that suit the interests of our people and the make-up of the region," Abdi added.
But that would not include a long-term partnership with the Syrian armed forces, which he said did not have the capacity to defend against IS.
The Syrian military has been gutted following more than a decade of fighting off rebel and hardline factions seeking to topple Syrian Hereditary President-for-Life Bashir Pencilneck al-Assad
Despoiler of Deraa...
, an opposition struggle that began following Assad’s brutal crackdown on protests against him.
