Turkish forces took control of their first town in northern Syria on Saturday, the defense ministry said, as the country's offensive intensifies.

The Turkish military tweeted that it had seized Ras al-Ain on the border"as a result of ongoing successful operations within the scope of the Peace Spring Operation."But the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces disputed this, with commander Mervan Qamishlo telling Reuters that the group had conducted a"tactical retreat" from one neighborhood of Ras Al Ain, before"very fierce clashes" restarted.

Qamishlo said there was"civil disobedience" in the camp on Friday, when people tried to raze tents and attack security personnel. Video footage showed what appeared to be chaotic scenes inside the camp, which houses roughly 70,000 displaced people from ISIS-controlled areas, including relatives of ISIS members.

SpringOfPeaceOperation PKK YPG Syria Since 1984, the PKK is accountable for over 200 murders on teachers. Teachers were martyred by terrorists, because they wanted to enlighten pupils. May all of them Rest in Peace.

Turkey has invaded a country....and you just stand back and watch.

We will never trust US:s administration anymore as allies! As realDonaldTrump mentioned we didn’t help US in Vietnam’s war!!!!!!!

So we knew this benefited realDonaldTrump's business interests in Turkey and now we know it was in fact good old communist leader Vladimir Putin who commanded trump to do this.

4)OR,Kurd warriors can simply hide its weapons deep,blend in with civilians&let the moronic Turk forces roll over. The Turks may use garrisons to hold ground,but is a LOGISTICAL nitemare,as Kurds can OWN both nite&day with small Turk force.

3)The courageous Kurds WILL NOT be alone. There r Humankind military&Intelligence officials whom all had built up yrs of trust,that they can rely on to take on the foolish Turk army. More so 7 BILLION Humanity that WILL NOT TOLERATE Genocide,EVER AGAIN after Rwanda shame.

2)The only way to STOP him is either a STINGING defeat to his moronic forces by the brave Kurds,whom had SAVED Humankind by their many selfless acts to destroy ISIS,or a costly QUAGMIRE in Kurdish liberated lands.

1)May all calm down. There is NO WAY to stop the stiff-necked nutjob Erdogan who thinks he should be Caliph of Islam,which had been DESTROYED almost a century ago as it had been detrimental to Humans in the Middle East.

Where are all our European allies? It was wrong of us to withdraw, but this withdrawal only proves that the United States was doing everything to stabilize the region, and our European allies were doing NOTHING. Shameful!

It's great how MSM intensifies their coverage of this area as we are pulling out our troops, yet almost no stories of what happened in Libya after our intervention MilitaryIndustrialComplexShills

Koniec Dla Tureckich darmozjadów wyrzucić wszystkich co w Islam wierzą bo oni to samo w Europie będą robić Turcja musi ponieść srogie konsekwencje

Poor strategy. Stab the people who helped you in the back. This will likely lead to an ISIS resurgence, and destroy the beautiful Rojava experiment...

A disgrace and once more America just shows NO loyalty to anyone but to itself, shameful and sad that what was once seen as the beacon of hope, we all look elsewhere now

little boys with little toys

The time Trump sold out Kurdish Christians to reform ISIS.

Why does a Defense Ministry launch an offensive?

When ISIS begins attacking Turkey, Erdojan will blame the Kurds.

Turkish artillery fire comes close to US forces in SyriaTurkish artillery hit close to a US special operations unit near Kobani, Syria, a US official familiar with the initial assessment says. There are no US injuries in the early reports and no indication it was deliberate, the official says. Fake news. There is coordination between US and TR despite poor relations to ensure such accidents are avoided. Anyway just take your troops back 10000miles so they can be with their fsmilies instead of propping up pkk/sdf terrorists on Turkey's border. Simple. Although we betrayed by America but we still protect our land and fight those jihadi Turkish terrorists till we die

'We will win or we will die,' say defiant Kurds facing Turkish operation in SyriaThe road into Tal Abyad was eerily empty. The Syrian border town's shops were all shuttered, following a steady stream of artillery strikes on its outskirts that began Thursday. The role of Kurdish fighters has been very important in defeating the Islamic State. In fact, the biggest reason behind the defeat of the Islamic State is that the Kurds bravely confronted them on almost all fronts. Aren't you tired of lying? FAKE NEWS!
