US-backed commander says Turkey is unable to attack northeast Syria
2018-12-13
[ALMASDARNEWS] The spokesperson for the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) Kino Gabriel told Kurdistan 24 in a recent interview that The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the decaying remnant of the Ottoman Empire....
will not be able to attack northeast Syria because the situation greatly differs than that of Afrin.

The SDF spokesperson told the publication that the U.S. observation posts in northern Syria have secured the area and blocked any potential cross-border hostilities.

"The United States has established observation points and they participated in establishing security here. I don’t think we are going to witness more attacks in the near future," Gabriel said, adding that the observation posts allowed the SDF to concentrate their forces towards the ISIS fronts.

Gabriel blamed Turkey’s attacks last month for the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're 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 the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
’s resurgence in several towns in the Euphrates River Valley.

"This allowed the SDF to push IS and to advance in some of the areas, after they halted their operation for some time due to Ottoman Turkish attacks in the past," he would add.
