It appears 2 groups at least 1 supported directly by Turkish Army have attacked a peaceful city in Syria. This is about taking control for the Turks. They want to keep what they can grab.
Complication? US ground forces are in the city and Turkey was warned they are there.
1 of the 2 elements involved in the Assault are what was part of ISIS, remember ISIS made a deal with Turkey to walk away from Al-Bab. What were they paid? By whom? Rumor is another wealthy Arab state paid them to leave.
The other element is Militia associate with Turkish army.
The assault began at the same time. Coincidence? Not buying that.

It’s so complicated over there in Syria that you need a flow chart to keep all the different factions in order............who hates who, who is allied with who, who is pretending to like whom, etc..............
Let’s see what America does.
Now that the Syrian Army has linked up with they Kurds, Syria or Russia could smuggle heavy weapons to the Kurds, to bleed the Turks.
Maybe the Turks and Jihadis are just desperate to reopen a route for ISIS leadership to escape through. If they can’t get through to Turkish territory, only the top level would be likely to get out through Saudi Arabia.
Very interesting that ISIS & the Turkish led Islamists are now coordinating/synchronizing their attacks on the Kurdish liberated area.
