A large convoy of Turkey backed rebels arrives at Turkish-Syrian border
Another large convoy carrying Turkey-backed rebels and gun-mounted trucks arrived at the border town of Akcakale on Thursday night (October 10) as part of a cross-border assault on Kurdish militia.
Dozens of buses carrying rebels and trucks loaded with ammunition entered a military camp in Akcakale across Syrian town of Tel Abyad. The convoy was sent to reinforce troops fighting in northern Syria, private Demiroren news agency reported.
The offensive against the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) led by Kurdish YPG militia, which began days after Trump pulled US troops out of the way and following a phone call with Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan, opens one of the biggest new fronts in years in an eight-year-old civil war that has drawn in global powers.
NATO member Turkey has said it intends to create a "safe zone" for the return of millions of refugees to Syria. But world powers fear the operation could intensify Syria's conflict and runs the risk of Daesh prisoners escaping from camps amid the chaos.
