Ankara-backed Syrian forces 'fully prepared' for Turkish operation
Turkey has threatened to launch a military operation against the SDF in the wake of attacks carried out by the latter in north Syria.
Turkey has threatened to launch a military operation against the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), which has recently stepped up its attacks in the areas controlled by the Turkish-backed factions in north Syria.
On Oct. 7, a rocket attack targeted a Turkish military convoy in the area, killing a Turkish soldier.
The Turkish government announced Oct. 10 that two of its soldiers were killed in a similar attack near Marea in the countryside of Aleppo.
In a Cabinet meeting on Oct. 11, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said the latest attack that targeted Turkish forces in northern Syria was “the final straw” and the attacks against these areas are unacceptable.
