Six Syrian soldiers killed as regime army and Turkish military clash for first time since offensive
AFP – Oct 29, 2019
At least six Syrian regime fighters were killed as heavy clashes broke out Tuesday between the army and Turkish forces for the first time since Ankara attacked northeastern Syria three weeks ago, a war monitor said.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said artillery and machine-gun fire was exchanged near Assadiya, south of the border town of Ras al-Ain.
“Heavy fighting erupted for the first time between the Syrian and Turkish armies,” the Britain-based monitoring group said.
The Turkish military and its Syrian proxies attacked Kurdish forces in northeastern Syria on October 9 with the aim of creating a roughly 30-kilometre (20-mile) deep buffer zone.
“Regime army”? Syrian army.
Turkey is just another NATO proxy and it looks like Erdogan has duped Putin.
Fred B, Hardly, they are two sides to the same coin, while one is being agressive, the other is killing with kindness.
You really think Russia could care more about Syria beyond the Tartus port?
Why else did they spend billions (by now, including the arms gifted, modern guns, armour, s300, tunguska, t70’s etc.) on a intervention to stop the US taking over the country, revoking the port access via the puppet regime they put in place once achieved.
The end times will only start once there is a global war in Syria, then the Anti christ as Christians know him, Dajjal as Muslims calll him will arrive in Damascus, to lead the Jewish tribes who will gather for his arrival.
If you think of the fact that America, UK, France, nearly every western nation is controlled by the Jews, you can class these as Jewsish tribes essentially…
Afterall they only do the bidding for the Jews as commanded.
Never understood Christians: how perfectly reasonable and mostly fair people can still believe the trinity and a bible written and re-written only God knows how many times to the whims of the elites of their time! As for the Jews who align themselves with evangelists whose purpose in this world is to destroy it starting with the Jews, I am totally baffled: do you Israelites think that they will not remember you calling the Virgin “a whore” and claiming that “Jesus is boiling in his excrements in the bowels of hell”? There is no limit to human stupidity!
