Following the collapse of the Baathist regime in Damascus, the Turkish occupation has continued to exploit the prevailing conditions in Syria. This includes the establishment of new occupation bases within Syrian territory, notably two new bases in Manbij and west of the Euphrates River.

“In response to these Turkish occupation attempts, SDF forces conducted targeted operations, resulting in the destruction of two portable radar systems, a radar-jamming system, and an armored vehicle belonging to the Turkish occupation forces west of the Qara Qazaq Bridge,” said a statement by the Media Center of the Syrian Democratic Forces on Monday.

SDF stressed that these attempts are part of the Turkish occupation plan to expand their occupation of Syrian territory and unequivocally expose its colonial ambitions.
