The Turkish TV channel Habertürk, which hosts programmes spreading propaganda for the mercenaries supported by the Turkish state, made a live broadcast of ISIS members advancing on Manbij with the so-called Syrian National Army (SNA). The live broadcast was served with the headline ‘Manbij cleared of PKK/YPG. The Syrian National Army completed the Manbij operation’.

The mercenaries, whose affiliation to ISIS is evident from the patches on their arms, were filmed on the road between Arîma and Manbij.

It is understood from the footage that ISIS mercenaries, whom the YPG expelled from Manbij in 2016, are trying to enter the city again under the name of SNA.
