Since October 26, YPG units have conducte a series of attacks on the Turkish-backed militant alliance, known as the Free Syrian Army (FSA), and retook a number of villages – Tall Malid, Jisr ash-Samuqah and others – from it.
Some Kurdish sources argue that Turkish military servicemen were among the killed militants.
The FSA and its patrons in Ankara deny the losses.
