US deploys forces to Kurdistan, Syria border with Turkey amid continues the Turkish bombardment on the sites of DSF

ARK News: US forces have deployed along the border between Kurdistan, Syria, and Turkey to deter Turkish attack against DSF, but Turkey continues its bombardment against the sites of DSF in villages of Kobani and Gire Spi, local sources reported.

On Friday, US forces started “patrolling on the border… to ease tensions and stop Turkey from launching attacks,” Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), according to a local source.

This week, Turkish forces have targeted self-defense forces and villages of Kobani and around Gire Spi in Kurdistan, Syria. There have been casualties among both self-defense forces and civilians, including a young girl killed on last Thursday, according to local sources.

“Reliable sources confirmed that the American forces were deployed on the entire border strip with Turkey in the area between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers, in order to prevent any Turkish movements towards the area,” the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights stated.

Turkey on its media has repeatedly threatened a full military operation against the DSF east of the Euphrates River and all the way to the Tigris River that runs through the triangle where the borders of Syria, Turkey, and Iraq meet.

The same sources added that American and Turkish military officials are in regular contact. On Thursday they began conducting joint patrols in the Manbij area, just west of the Euphrates near the frontlines between Turkish and DSF in Kurdistan, Syria.
