SDF reports 'unprecedented' escalation with Turkey in northern Syria
[Rudaw] The Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) on Tuesday reported "intensified attacks" with Syrian National Army (SNA) Death Eaters in northern Syria near the key Tishreen Dam and Qere Qozaq bridge.

"The Ottoman Turkish occupation and its mercenaries have intensified their brutal attacks on northern and eastern Syria, committing a massacre yesterday in the countryside of Sarrin, which resulted in casualties of three children," the SDF said in a statement.

and Ottoman Turkish-backed Death Eaters for a spate of attacks on Tishreen Dam and Qere Qozaq bridge since December, when a coalition of rebels led by the Islamist Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham, formerly al-Nusra, before that it was called something else

The dam's strategic location is critical for Turkey and the SNA, as its capture could pave the way for an advance into other parts of northeast Syria (Rojava).

The attacks came after HTS leader and Syria’s interim President Ahmed al-Sharaa and SDF chief Mazloum Abdi put pen to paper on a landmark deal that would see the SDF integrated into the Syrian security apparatus.

Included in the agreement is a ceasefire across the country.

According to the SDF, Ottoman Turkish drones were also spotted in the skies above the symbolic Kurdish city of Kobane and Ain Issa.

On Monday, a suspected Ottoman Turkish dronezap on Sarrin town south of Kobane killed one child and injured two more people.

Rojava authorities have expressed grave concerns about attacks on the Tishreen Dam, warning that the constant attacks could lead to its collapse and a potential human catastrophe.
