Kurdish fighters and Turkish-backed militants are fighting over control of the strategic Tishreen Dam near the Aleppo countryside
Heavy clashes between Turkish-backed militants and US-backed Kurdish fighters continued to rage across the Aleppo countryside in northern Syria on 8 December, as Ankara provided air cover to its proxies throughout the fighting.
A Turkish drone struck a vehicle belonging to the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) in the eastern Aleppo countryside on Wednesday. Turkish artillery shelling also hit the vicinity of the Qarqozak Bridge south of the city of Kobani (Ain al-Arab).
Factions from Ankara’s Syrian National Army (SNA) proxy force fired rockets at SDF positions near the bridge. Turkish drones also bombed an SDF rocket launcher near Manbij in the Aleppo countryside and an SDF vehicle in the city of Malikiyah northeast of Hasakah.
“Turkish warplanes bombed Tishreen Dam and its surroundings with a number of raids, coinciding with attacks carried out by mercenary factions affiliated with Turkey on villages north of Tishreen Dam and southeast of Manbij, where violent clashes are taking place,” SDF’s media center announced. Civilian casualties have been reported.
Turkiye’s proxies have been trying to secure control over the Tishreen Dam for weeks. The fighting between the SDF and the SNA has escalated recently – despite a fragile, US-brokered ceasefire agreement.
