Turkey Launches Offensive Against U.S.-Backed Syrian Militia

U.S. forces say Turkey was deliberately ‘bracketing’ American troops with artillery fire in Syria

Turkish forces who launched multiple artillery rounds near a U.S. Special Operations outpost in northeastern Syria on Friday have known for months that Americans were there, according to four current and former U.S. officials, raising questions whether Turkey is trying to push American troops farther from the border.

The incident occurred on a hilltop base overlooking the town of Kobane as Turkey continues an operation launched Tuesday against Syrian Kurds, some of whom the United States has partnered with for years in its campaign against the Islamic State. The incursion has focused on an area 60 miles to the west of Kobane, but U.S. officials believe Turkey has long-term aspirations to control a much larger swath of Syria.

The rounds landed about 9 p.m. within a few hundred yards of the base on Mistenur Hill, U.S. officials said. Navy Capt. Brook DeWalt, a Pentagon spokesman, said in a statement that the U.S. troops “came under artillery fire” but were unharmed and that there was an explosion.

One Army officer who has deployed to northeastern Syria and has knowledge of the situation said that multiple rounds of 155mm fire were launched from Turkey’s side of the border and that they had a “bracketing effect” in which shells landed on both sides of the U.S. outpost.

“That’s an area weapon,” the officer said, noting its explosive effects. “That’s not something we ever would have done to a partner force.”

Ya'll ready for more fun in the Middle East?!

The withdrawal came amid reports that hundreds of Islamic State supporters may have escaped from a camp housing displaced people in the town of Ain Issa, taking advantage of the mayhem that ensued as Turkish artillery pounded the area.

The Kurdish administration in northeastern Syria said in a statement that 785 people affiliated with the Islamic State were among those who got away, escaping from a camp that housed 12,000 displaced people, mostly women and children.

About a thousand of those known as Islamic State supporters, almost all of them foreigners, were housed in a separate section of the camp known as the Annex, which is now “completely empty,” according to an aid worker who was not authorized to talk to the press and who spoke on the condition of anonymity.

Ya'll like war crimes? Cuz we got war crimes

Turkish-led forces film themselves executing a Kurdish captive in Syria

Videos posted on social media showing at least one execution-style killing have called into question the discipline of the soldiers engaged in Turkey’s five-day old effort to seize territory controlled by the Kurds allies in northeastern Syria.

The most gruesome and explicit of the videos shows Turkish-allied Syrian fighters pumping bursts of automatic fire into the body of a bound man lying on the side of a desert road as a gunman shouts to his comrades to take his phone and film him doing the shooting. Another trembling, handcuffed man crouches on the opposite side of the road as the shooting erupts. “Kill them,” one man is heard shouting.

A separate video shows fighters crowding round a black, bullet-riddled SUV that had apparently come under a hail of gunfire before being forced to stop. The fighters step over the body of a dead man in civilian clothing to reach inside the vehicle.

“Another fleeing pig has been liquidated by the hands of the National Army,” says one of the fighters as the others clamor to be filmed. “He was fleeing in an armored car.”

A female voice is briefly heard coming from the back seat.

What happened next is unclear, but the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces say the woman in the car was the Kurdish politician Hevrin Khalaf, whose body was found later in a nearby morgue. Khalaf was the secretary general of the newly established Future Party of Syria.

A Turkish newspaper, Yeni Safak, trumpeted her killing as a “successful operation” against a politician affiliated with the “terrorist” People’s Democratic Union, the Kurdish political party that runs northeast Syria.

The newspaper said she had been “neutralized” in the operation, and described her death as a major setback for the group.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a monitoring group, said nine civilians were executed on Saturday at the roadblock to the south of the town of Tal Abyad. Several other photos and videos posted by the Ahrar al-Sharqiya rebel group, which was apparently among those involved in staffing the roadblock, show captured men surrounded by fighters on the side of the road.

Trump: Why did the Kurds get the works? That's nobody's business but the Turks.

Trump talking about sanctions against Turkey less than a week after he greenlit this invasion.
