On July 7, cross-border firing by unidentified gunmen in Syria’s northeastern region, where Kurdish forces are in control, killed a Turkish service member.
The gunfire targeted a Turkish military vehicle patrolling near the border town of Senyurt in the southeastern Turkish province of Mardin.
According to a statement by Mardin’s governor office, the driver, identified as infantryman Cihan Ciftcibasi, was severely wounded and three other service members sustained light injures when the vehicle then overturned. Ciftcibasi died of his wounds in the hospital, while the remaining three soldiers are recovering.

No group has claimed responsibility for the attack, yet. Elements from the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) may have been behind the attack.
The SDF launched cross-border attacks against Turkey from northeastern Syria in 2019 as a response to the Turkish-led invasion of the region. Since then, the Kurdish-led group has confined its attacks to Turkish forces inside Syria.
The Turkish military has not yet responded to the cross-border attack. A harsh military response by Ankara may further destabilize northeastern Syria. The ceasefire in the region, which is sponsored by both Russia and the US, is barely holding on.
turkonoid invader in coffin ? sounds good ;)
The only good Turkey is a slow roasted and carved one.
Stuffed.

Shia and turks are enemies
The Arabs historically hate the upstart Mongoloid Turkey savages who are treacherous and resistance will only grow as the Turkeys are stealing Arabs lands in Syria and Iraq along with oil. Erdogan is a cowardly moron who thinks that like Zionists he can annex 10% of best Syrian lands. He has a thing coming and it is not even thanks giving.
Turkish clowns are being given enough rope to hang themselves. The SAA & allies will do the rest of the work.
Turks are low intelligence brutes. It is said that killing a Turk is like much like taking the life of an insect or fish. They have no feelings and cannot even grasp when they are being killed. They just stare with cold, blinking eyes until the blood runs out.
Fucking Turks, always sticking their nose in other peoples’ business. Fuck off and die.
