Turkey is planning to launch a ground invasion of Syria, targeting U.S.-backed Kurdish forces and threatening to derail progress in the fight against ISIS.
Gen. Mazloum said the bomber was from ISIS and condemned the attack. He warned Turkey is using it as a pretense to ethnically cleanse the Kurds. Turkish warplanes struck a military base that the U.S. military shares with these Kurdish fighters outside Qamishli about 30 miles from Turkey's border.
A view shows the aftermath of airstrikes, which Turkey's defense ministry says it carried out, in Derik, Syria, November 20, 2022. "Immediate de-escalation is necessary in order to maintain focus on the defeat-ISIS mission and ensure the safety and security of personnel on the ground committed to the defeat-ISIS mission," Brigadier Gen. Patrick S. Ryder, Pentagon Press Secretary told Fox News in a statement. "Recent air strikes in Syria directly threatened the safety of U.S. personnel who are working in Syria with local partners to defeat ISIS and maintain custody of more than ten thousand ISIS detainees.
US forces were 300 yards from the SDF base in Hasakah, Syria at the time of Turkish airstrike on Tuesday. Gen. Mazloum called on the American people and the American government to stand up for the Kurds.
