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.
New TAF convoy, Zawiya is among the destinations. Objectives: to disrupt the SAA offensive in Barah and move closer to Kurdistan, where allied militias increased their raids.
It’s feared that Ankara will launch an operation like Peace Spring to drive out Kurds from the area. SDF are preparing to defend the territory and freeze the war on Isis. Damascus sides with them.
