At least 550 SAA soldiers deployed in full SDF territory: Ain Issa, al-Bab, Manbij and Kobani in a defensive key against the new Peace Spring operation.
At the moment it is a “war of position” and at a distance, but it could evolve. US and Russia work to stop the TAF and allied militias before it's too late.
Kurdish forces send fighters and assets, even heavy ones, to Ain Issa. There is fear of a maxi infiltration attempt by TAF allied groups to take the M4.
TAF fighters attacked the SDF in Sayda (Ain Issa) on the Nowruz eve. It is no longer proxy war, Ankara is fueling an escalation with unpredictable outcomes.
Manhunt in Kurdistan and the rest of the country begins. Groups close to Tehran will either discharge the aggressors or become targets of Inherent Resolve-Peshmerga.
