US Forces Allegedly Withdraw from Northern Syria on Verge of Turkish Attack

Yeni Safak paper reported that the US forces, deployed in Tal Abyadh region in Northern Raqqa near the border with Turkey, have hand over their observation posts to the Kurdish gunmen after Ankara declared an imminent assault on the Eastern bank of the Euphrates River against the Kurds.

The paper further said that the Turkish army is planning to target the observation posts at the first phase of its major operation against the Kurds in Northern Syria.

The daily went on to say that the US army has also handed over the most modern military hardware and advanced radars to the Kurds.

Field sources had also earlier informed that the US forces were retreating from the so-called observation posts at Syria’s Northern border with Turkey, mainly in Raqqa, but, Kurdish militants rejected the claims.

On Monday, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said that the operation in Northern Syria would continue until the last of the terrorists cleared, adding that US President Donald Trump had given a positive response to Ankara’s operation East of the Euphrates.
