Top US ally, SDF commander in Syria warns of ISIS return if Turkish airstrikes don’t stop
Fox News ^ | Dec 12, 2024 | Jennifer Griffin

In an exclusive interview with Fox News, Gen. Mazloum Abdi, the commander of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), the main U.S. ally whose fighters are currently guarding 45,000 ISIS militants and their families at camps and prisons in Eastern Syria, said the Turkish military and its allied forces continue to attack his Kurdish forces, despite a U.S. brokered ceasefire deal Wednesday.

"We are still under constant attack from the Turkish military and the Turkish-supported opposition which is called SNA," Gen. Mazloum told Fox. "Eighty drone attacks a day we have from the Turkish military. There is intensive artillery shells. This situation has paralyzed our counterterror operation."

The attacks by the Turkish military on the SDF have increased since Bashar Al Assad’s fall on December 8. Gen. Mazloum warned that if his Kurdish fighters have to flee, ISIS would return.

SDF is ISIS. What a s show. Things are going to get very very nasty. Obama has infested the entire US government and population with islamists and he will be releasing their violence when Trump takes office.

“”Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), the main U.S. ally””

WHY are they ISIS? Aren’t they the U.S. ally?

Here we go again - we need a scorecard....Would it really be this confusing if for instance, Canada and the United States were at war? It’s impossible to keep those other countries straight - maybe because there’s always a war going on there?

I approve of the return of the Ottoman Empire.

When Arabs acted up for 800 years Johnny Turk got busy and straightened stuff out using methods not available to Western civilization.

This is Turkey creating facts on the ground in Syria before President Trump’s second term starts. If they felt Trump would be supportive of this they certainly would be waiting on him and not doing this while Biden is still occupying the White House.

No, HTS is ISIS. They literally swapped their flags and badges for the ISIS flag as they paraded through the cities they’ve captured.

“SDF is ISIS”

WRONG!

Just ask one of our soldiers who fought with the Kurds (large part of SDF).

I know the elements on this block.

He is an excellent source for the truth in the region.

He knows it well.

It makes me sick that he is about the only reliable source of info inside of Syria.

I spent 1/2 of today following it. He is right on top of the reality.

His site is on Telegram and some content on youtube.

Yes, Amir does a great job; he pulls together other sources and credits them.

Syrian sources report a series of IDF airstrikes tonight on several sites in Syria:

Damascus - Almaza Air Force Base Airport
Mount Qasioun - North Damascus
Deir Hanna - Syria-Lebanon border
In Masyaf near the coastal area in western Syria

An independent website that analyzes the worlds of naval warfare reports on the extent of Syrian vessels destroyed in Israeli strikes in recent days in western Syria.

In Latakia, 9 OSA-series missile boats were destroyed. Five Tir-series missile boats were destroyed in the port of Al-Bisha (north of Latakia).

In the port of Tartus, 6 OSA series missile boats were not destroyed for fear of hitting nearby Russian vessels.

A total of 14 Syrian missile boats were destroyed and 6 remained unharmed , according to this source.

Amit Segal has marked the main landmarks of the city in the photos of the destruction of the Jabaliya camp in northern Gaza.
For me, this street and the camp represent evil. Three videos of hostage abductions were released from this street on October 7.
I managed to geolocate two of them at the time.
The video is not easy, but it is worth remembering.<


1. Shani Luk in the pickup’s trunk, to the cheers of the crowd. Killed and kidnapped at the Mefalsim turnoff.
2. Eitan Levi, taxi driver. Was killed and kidnapped. Bloody leg from the trunk to the joyful cries of the crowd.
3. Unknown hostage, also a leg from the trunk. Also to the joyful cries of the crowd.

Yes. He understands the region and history. He knows the reality of the really bad guys.

And he puts it in Biblical perspective in fine form.

He is absolutely correct about Erdoo in Turkey.
