The Afrin Liberation Forces (ALF) announced on January 11 that their units had killed four Turkish-backed militants and injured eight others in a series of new operations.
In an official statement, the Kurdish guerrilla group said that the operations took place in the southern part of Afrin and near the town of Marea in the Turkish-occupied part of northern Aleppo on January 9 and 10.
The group released three videos showing its fighters ambushing a Turkish-backed militant riding a motorcycle, sniping two other militants and targeting a forward post with an anti-tank guided missile (ATGM).
Most of the slain militants were fighting in the ranks of the Sham Legion, the Hamza Division and the al-Shamiya Front. The three groups are key members of the Turkish-backed Syrian National Army (SNA).
The ALF stepped up its operations in the northern Aleppo countryside last October in the woke of the Turkish invasion of northeast Syria. Turkish-backed NSA militants led the invasion on the ground, occupying dozens of Kurdish-majority towns and villages.
Nice
that last video they all saw the missile coming and scattered
Kind of a waste of an ATGM if that’s all the head-choppers that were there, but the fleeing jihadis are hilarious, so it was kind of worth the missile. Couldn’t see if there was something behind the tree like a truck or the head-chopper’s goat ‘date’, but it must have been something very valuable.
Poor old Putin, the ALF sure do make life hell for him, all these attacks he has to explain to Erdogan must be annoying him no end. The Russian/Turkish MOU concerning this area hasn’t worked out too well for Erdogan, he may have stolen all the Kurdish homes but not too many refugees want to move into them, the ALF are seeing to that.
Video is from 2015. Today US doesnt give communist guerilla any AT weapon. In fact US stopped supplying any weapon to them at all.
from the name AFRIN LIBERATION FORCES follows that fighting for the liberation of the north of Syria that was conquered in the spring 2018 and AT missiles could get various thefts from the SAA by seizure from local terrorists’ supplies both from the iblib area and north of the Turks
