On September 24 afternoon, the Turkish military and its proxies shelled a post of the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) in Syria’s northeastern region.
The post in question is located near the village of al-Tawilah to the west of the town of Tell Tamr in the northern countryside of al-Hasakah. Like most of northeastern Syria, the area is controlled by the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF).
Local activists shared several videos of the Turkish shelling on al-Tawilah. No casualties or material losses have been reported as for now.

The SAA and the Russian Military Police established a network of positions in northeastern Syria in the wake of the 2019 Turkish-led attack on the region. The army maintains a large presence in Tell Tamr and its surroundings to secure the M4 highway, which links al-Hasakah with Raqqa and Aleppo.
The motives behind the Turkish shelling on al-Tawilah remain unclear. Not much fighting between Turkish-backed militants and the SDF was reported around Tell Tamr in the last few days.
Turkey may be testing the waters before launching a new large-scale operation in northeastern Syria, or responding to the recent strikes on its proxies in the northwestern Syrian region of Grater Idlib.
The least the turks can do in response to western backed fake (SDF) proxies.
Article revision? The turks only expedite there departure from Syria with attacks on the SAA.
Time to start shelling Turkey.
Indeed.
The sooner Russia breaks up with its girlfriend Turkey the better. She has led Russia astray. What is this crap of Syria at war with Turkey and Russia friendly with Turkey!
