Turkish tanks and armored vehicles took up positions around Kafr Jana, a rugged area which the main jihadist rebel group Hayat Tahrir al Sham (HTS) seized on Monday from two rival factions theSun theSundaily Turkey Syria conflict jihad defense
Demonstrators burn tires as they gather in the Syrian opposition-held crossing of Bab al-Salama, at the border with Turkey in the northern Aleppo province on October 17, 2022, as locals and others from the opposition-held cities of Azaz, Jarabulus, Mari, and al-Bab demonstrate against Hayat Tahrir al-Sham jihadist group after it gained control over Afrin from other Turkish-backed Syrian rebel groups.
“Turkey has now intervened to stop the conflict and prevent Hayat Tahrir al Sham from progressing and to get both sides to the negotiating table to implement the accord,“ Waiel Olwan, a former opposition official in touch with both sides, told Reuters. Turkey fears HTS’s hold over much of the insurgent enclave would give Moscow a free hand to renew bombing of a region that is home to more than 3 million displaced Syrians who fled Assad’s rule under the pretext of fighting hardline jihadists.
“We are alarmed by the recent incursion of HTS, a designated terrorist organization, into northern Aleppo. HTS forces should be withdrawn from the area immediately,“ the U.S. Embassy in Damascus said.
