Clashes in northern Syria: more than 100 dead between pro-Turkish and Kurdish fighters, explosions in Damascus

New wave of violence between pro-Kurdish forces and Kurdish militias in northern Syria. In Damascus, explosions hit regime ammunition depots, attributed to Israeli air raids

More than 100 fighters were killed in the last two days of clashes in northern Syria between pro-Kurdish fighters and Kurdish-Arab militias. This was reported by Rami Abdel Rahmane, director of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, to the Afp agency. According to his statements, since Friday night the fighting around the city of Manbij has left 101 dead, 85 among the pro-Turkish groups and 16 among the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF). The latter claimed to have repelled ‘all attacks by Turkey’s mercenaries, supported by drones and the Turkish Air Force’.

The pro-Turkish fighters have relaunched their offensive against the Kurdish forces, taking advantage of the resumption of operations by the rebels against the Damascus regime, which began on 27 November. So far, they have managed to capture Manbij and Tal Rifaat, two strategic locations in the north of Aleppo province. The director of the Observatory added that the objective of the pro-Turkish forces is now to take the cities of Kobane and Tabqa, and then advance towards Raqqa, expelling the SDF from the territory they still control. Indeed, Ankara considers the Kurdish militias in Syria as an extension of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), which has been fighting the Turkish government for years, fearing the formation of an autonomous region between northern Syria, south-eastern Turkey and northern Iraq.

Meanwhile, at least two loud explosions were recorded today in Damascus, where ammunition depots of Bashar al-Assad’s regime were reportedly hit. Local media attribute the attack to alleged Israeli-led air raids, although there is no official confirmation of this.
