Turkey bombs villages of north Syria’s Manbij
MANBIJ, Syria (North Press) – On Tuesday, the Turkish forces bombed several villages on the front lines in the countryside of Manbij city, north Syria.
“The village of al-Yalanli and al-Fawaris farm, northwest of Manbij, were bombed by the Turkish forces stationed in the eastern countryside of al-Bab city,” the media office of the al-Bab Military Council said.
The bombing coincided with a similar bombing from the Turkish base in the village of Sheikh al-Nasir, north of Manbij, of the villages of Jamousiya and al-Sayyada in the northwestern countryside of Manbij.
Yesterday, the Manbij Military Council, affiliated with the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), foiled an infiltration attempt by the Turkish-backed armed opposition factions in northwest of Manbij.
On August 15, 2016, Manbij Military Council Forces, with the support of the US-led Global Coalition, managed to expel the Islamic State (ISIS) from the city of Manbij following battles that lasted for about two months and a half.
