BREAKING: Turkish state media say two Syrian villages across border are 'cleared of terror,' referring to Syrian Kurdish fighters.

BEIRUT — The Latest developments on the Turkish offensive against Syrian Kurdish fighters in northeastern Syria :Turkey’s state-run news agency says Turkey-allied Syrian opposition fighters have “cleared of terror” two villages across the border in Syria — meaning there are no more Syrian Kurdish fighters in those villages.

Meanwhile, the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said Turkish commandos entered the village of Beir Asheq, near the town of Tal Abyad on Thursday morning. He says: “We are very concerned about the impacts of the measures on the humanitarian situation in Syria. Hostilities in the region may provoke further displacements.”

A ministry statement early on Thursday did not provide further detail on the offensive but shared a brief video of commandos in action.

soledadobrien Translation: Genocide operation is a success

tedcruz JohnCornyn YOUR SILENCE IS AGREEMENT. We will remember.

Another Armenian genocide in the offing

soledadobrien Just as U.S. Army massacred villagers in Vietnam and called them Vietcong. Just as U.S. Army massacred Indigenous peaceful villages and called them 'war parties'. Those who write the stories make the stories.

colbymommy America abandoning allies and creating terrorists yet again.

Remember that scene in Braveheart where Robert the Bruce turned his back on William Wallace in battle? Remember the disgust & betrayal you felt watching it? realdonsldtRUmp is that loathsome guy. Real lives of good people being snuffed out for his greed. impeach GOP DNC

AnEggOnABeach Turkish state media won’t report on the innocent civilians, women, and children slaughtered in exchange for Trump keeping his name on the Turkey towers. QuidProQuo

GOPlastdays You mean slaughtered! TrumpBetrayedTheKurds

109 brave people who stood up and took on ISIS so that the west could live in peace have been killed by state supported terrorism!

soledadobrien Shamed much, Donald? Thought not.

soledadobrien Please don’t parrot their propaganda.

This is the fault of the POTUS he set this up with Putin and the Turkish President

Same photo, over and over and over.

Hmmmm.....being a Kurd automatically makes a person a terrorist? Sounds like the Turks have a turkey for a president.

This is genocide and trump is complicit in the slaughter.

soledadobrien Just another story by the AP. TRUMP GIVES GO AHEAD TO MURDER OUR ALLIES AND MEDIA QUOTES KURDS AS “TERROR”. NO MENTION OF TRUMP OR ALLIES

Highlight - “Finnish Prime Minister Antti Rinne, whose country currently holds the European Union’s rotating presidency, says that Finland condemns Turkey’s offensive in Syria and appeals for the cessation of hostilities.”

and everybody else

This is soooo fucked, and totally on the Drumpf Admin

Yeah, the turks keep bragging until their boots step on the quicksands like the nato in afghanistan, where nato troops are staying to die slowly in hundred years.

Israel take heed. President Trump abandoned his “friends the Kurds”and is allowing them to be slaughtered. Israel, he will do the same to you in your time of need, so take care and do not depend on Donald Trump. He is not a good friend.

In a political move against USA and realDonaldTrump the has officially become the media ally of Turkey's President Erdogan who now threatens to force 3.6 million refugees into Europe.

Are they also cleared off the map?

You mean all occupant are murdered

That is, they have killed Kurds and civilians. BloodOnYourHands realDonaldTrump GOPLeader

Aren't Turkish forces using warplanes that they bought from the US against the Kurds?

O AB, come to yourself. If you try to characterize our operation as an occupation, our job is easy. We open the doors and we send 3.6 million refugees to you.

You should respect the sovereignty of Kurds. The Kurds are NOT terrorist, they are living in their homeland... Turkish Erdogan is a terrorist...

Has the U.N. moved troops in? Where is that feckless organization

Why are Syrian troops not protecting their territory with the help of their allies?

It’s was a mass slaughter.

TRANSLATION: 'We murdered everyone.'

poor people... so sad 😪😥

What the US did to the Kurds is a vintage act of US betrayal of an ally.

Thank you, Finland!

One man's freedom fighter is another man's terrorist. I'm not defending Turkey but the Fake News won't tell you how many Turks that certain segments of the Kurds have killed in the last 40 years. Why would we out American troops in the middle of that ? Can't trust the Media

So the ethnic cleansing begins

We are coming 🇹🇷

I don’t do state media.

And it begins. This will make us look bad

This is an absolute mess. ISIS is completely free in northern Syria. Great job realDonaldTrump
