With intense fire cover, Turkish forces are trying to storm Darbasiyah, which is almost empty of its inhabitants

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitored fierce clashes on the outskirts of Darbasiyah city in Hasakah countryside between the SDF and the military councils on the one hand, and the Turkish forces and their loyalist factions on the other, in a violent attack by the latter in an attempt to storm the city amid heavy and intense shelling on the axes of the fighting in addition to the reciprocal targeting of heavy machine guns. It is worth noting that the city of Darbasiyah has become almost empty of its inhabitants after their displacement during the last 24 hours to become the same as Ras Al Ain, which in turn became almost empty of its inhabitants. Meanwhile, Turkish forces bombed areas in the vicinity of the villages of Alzhirah in the countryside of Gom Sharaf, while the SDF managed to shot down reconnaissance aircraft in the skies of “Qasr Deep” in al-Malikia countryside.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitored a Turkish airstrike targeting the entrance of the city of Tal Abyad from Raqqa, in conjunction with the passing of vehicles of tribal and civilian delegations coming from Raqqa to the city to participate in the sit-in of the “Tent of Human Shields” to denounce the Turkish military operation in the area. As a result, there were wounds and injuries in the ranks of the convoy, followed by ground shelling by Turkish forces targeting the sit-in yard, which led to injuries in the ranks of the protesters. Meanwhile, the Syrian Observatory learned that the Turkish forces managed to extend control over the village of Yabsa located west of the city of Tel Abyad after Clashes with the SDF with areal cover, while clashes between the two sides continue on axes in the region, and there is information on further casualties.
The Syrian Observatory published recently that the Turkish commandos entered the village of Bir Asheq east of the city of Tel Abyad on the border with Turkey, where the troops are stationed inside houses in the village, in conjunction with the process of controlling the village with the help of sleeper cells in the village. In addition, clashes are now taking place between the Syria Democratic Forces and Turkish forces on the axis of the land village west of Tel Abyad, in an attempt to control the village.
