The Turkish military could launch a military operation in northeastern Syrian in the upcoming 48 hours, Nedaa Syria reported on October 5, citing sources familiar with the situation.
The sources told the pro-opposition site that the operation, which will supposedly be called “Well of Peace,” will target the border town of Tell Abyad in its first phase. Later, the operation will be developed further.
“Turkish military reinforcements arrived today at the border with Syria, stationed on the opposite side of the towns of Tal Abyad in the countryside of Raqqa and Ras al-Ain in the governorate of al-Hasakah,” Nedaa Syria’s reporter said.
According to the reporter, the reinforcement included highly-experienced special forces units of the Turkish military and mine clearing vehicles.
Syira’s northeastern region is controlled by the U.S.-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF). Ankara views the Kurdish-dominated group as a threat to its national security.
Nedaa Syria claimed that militants of the National Syrian Army (NSA) will be taking part in the operation. Most of them will be locals from Raqqa, al-Hasakah and northern Aleppo.
A few hours earlier, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said that the Turkish military is ready to launch a military operation in northeastern Syria to fight “terrorists” and bring “peace” to the region. The president added that the operation could begin “today or tomorrow.”
Dear Turkey, you are going to get battered,however before that if you can take out scores of Kurds and the US, that will be greatly appreciated.
If I were the kurds I’d take a leaf out of the Houthi playbook and start attacks within Turkey. Politically unpopular ones that punish Turkey asymmetrically
What do you think PKK has been doing the last 3 decades? Have you actually never read anything about KCK and PKK?
Dear Al: Our aim is, I underline it, to shower east of Euphrates with peace.
Sincerely: Erdogan

He doesn’t even know when he wants to launch that operation LMAO.
They are probing the US.
The Turkeys are in no position to fight a war with high casualties. It is Russia that is protecting them from a Saudi style disaster. The Anatolian peasant villages that supply the illiterate cannon fodder are very restless as the Syrian intervention has already cost them over 1,000 casualties. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/86ced974ffeb9ed873c73706ff98f5053085a622c34f88684e43ac34cff6d4de.jpg
Yeah Turkey is the biggest loser in this war. The US stole some Oil, but Turkey gained nothing and lost many many military personel.
Erdogans son was stopped on a flight in Italy with millions in cash. He and his bodyguards were then given Diplomatic Immunity.
This was at the time of the stolen oil convoys travelling to Turkey. ISIS were the sellers of the oil looted in Syria then
Weird that Turkey didn’t deploy as many soldiers and equipment to the Syrian border – when ISIS was present there – as they do now?
Mmmm, yes. Perhaps the Turks were being covert :)
just clear the northeast of the kurds and the yanks will follow.
Erdogan is CIAs guy who is doing all at American will. He thinks that he’s so smart by doing this bringing more instability in Syria, but it won’t be working. And he will regret this.
100% factual statement. Erdogan’s AKP was created by the CIA with Qatari, Emirati and Saudi money to sow mayhem in the region for their Zionist masters. Erdogan has killed more Arabs than the Zionists. It is Turkey that is the main terrorist conduit in the region.
Zionists and their Wahhabism evil faith are worst pest on the face of the Earth.
Both turks and SDF can go to hell. All of Syria is Arab soil.
Actually, if the SAA and their allies do decide to put up a fight, the Turkeys 1960’s vintage M-48/60 are like sardine cans even for RPG’s, they have no ERA plates and have very thin armor. The SAA should be providing the Kurds with ATGM and RPGs so that the Turkeys and Kurds kill each other and then mop the remaining Turkeys. The Turks are not any better than Saudis as the previous losses at Al-Bab showed when they used their best German Leo2 tanks and were wiped out. Turkeys have a ill-trained peasant army of conscripts that have fight in them.

I would love to know, what they are smoking when they come up with these names for their operations.
We should all smoke marijuana it’s great
Literally quran and hadith memes. They sound less lame in Arabic tho.
The names mimic the daft operation names that NATO uses.
We could launch Operation Inherent Resolve Freedom in 12 hours against Turkey if they don’t keep their hands off our assets on our soil in Syria.
US has the obligation to secure peace for it Allies in Syria with all possible tools on the table….…..LOL.
We will see if US will punish green hordes as they did that to red forces many times ….. we will see on which side you are and where is your “green” lines!
Operation Kurdish Delight?
Lol.
You must be referring to Operation NATO Dissolve ? :)
That is funny. :)
lololol…… kurds here, kurds there……… Folks get a life….. the SDF or call them YPG are absolutely NOTHING !!!!!!!!!
without the protection of NATO in the east, the SDF/YPG are DEAD MEN WALKING…………
what you now get is the worst case Scenario for the syrian arab republic…….
the zionists are now SUBSTITUTING the inferior KURDS which have no army, no airforce, no tanks…no historical international Bondage with any state/Nation because ofcourse there never was a nation of “Kurdistan” with the
TURKISH NATO ARMY!!!!!
now Folks here can be smart asses as usual, and make fun of the turks( for me they are child and sheep fuckers), but think About this 1 MOST imporatant Question first….
WHO is easier to defeat?????
A kurdish minority, with no army , no airforce, no tanks, no seat in any international bodies ie. United nations
or
The TURKISH armed Forces….. a NATO member…. with airforce, with army, with satellites with tanks, with artillery and 80+ Million Population
that is the main reason…… for me…. to openly write/say, that Putin is a Zionist pig!!!!!
Only through Putins doings and Arrangements was it possible for Turkey to invade , firstly afrin, later Idlib and now N.E syria Raqqa governate.
This is typical Modus Operandi by them satanic Zionist bastards.And I there are only 2 possible excuses for Putin other than beiing a Zionist pig.
first…Putin is stupid and miscalculated. nope sorry, dont believe that.
secondly….that was Putins plan all along, to bring the turks to fight the kurds in the east without america getting involved because Turkey and the USA are both NATO members, and AFTER the turks defeated the kurdish traitors, and lost +++++ men, the turks will LEAVE syria. sorry Folks, i dont believe that one either, for the simple reason that the SYRIAN ARAB REPUBLIC since it was founded was enemy number 1 for the Moslem brothethood and the Moslem brotherhood is what drives Erdogans Turkey.
Putin u r a Zionist PIG!!!!
smiling with bibi……..smiling with bin-Salman
Maybe, but Putin talks the talk.
Kurds sold out again perhaps. Turkey isn’t going to dare shoot Americans.
Turkey is even bigger Americunt slave than Saudis. The Turks have zero honor and would lick anyone’s arse if the price is right. A mongol leftover failed state of retards and pimps.
Ironically the Turks are just like the Kurd. Both traitorous scumbags and both zionist dick suckers. The SDF pieces of shit even had the audacity to take the credit for the defeat of ISIS, thats how western media portrays it at least. Its sickening. I dont like seeing people die but the day SAA tanks run over their burning carcasses i will celebrate like nothing else
The SDF did defeat ISIS. Assad took the easy way out by allowing ISIS to retreat into the desert then bus even more of them there so the SAA wouldn’t lose more of their better soldiers trying to defeat the crazies in their strongholds.
Are you kidding? The SDF let ISIS run away from Raqqa and every other major strongholds. They barely ever fought them, preferring to let them run towards the SAA. Every US strikes were either cosmetic or targeted at SAA convoys, so fuck off with the Assad conspiracy.
ISIS was defeated at Deir Ezzor and Albu kamal, not Raqqa or Mosul, and the credit goes to the Syrians heroes and Issam Zahreddine.
?? enjoy it, zion
Yankee prepare for second Vietnam can be even worse
For who? 2 millions vietnamese died in that war….
Yankees lost the war and they run away like a headless chicken
the kurds will be the object for the turks and thus the americans, incidentally – the kurds, faithful to their destiny bet on the white horse and lost again and again. israel will be left with no friendly neighbours in the vicinity and will be on their way to hell before you can say squat. easier to exterminate the vermin on palestinian land than get rid of the iranians from their land so it won’t happen.
and rest assured there is no way that the squatters would dare to resort to their nukes – they would be killed instantaneously by the world.
Israel has both between 150 to 300 nuclear warheads and long distance missiles capable of carrying them. If ever they think they will lose and be genocided again, they will go for the Massada scenario, taking everybody with them, from Lybia to KSA to Pakistan and Afghanistan.
World economy will mostly collapse with a large part of oil production taken out for generations, as well as the source of a lot of political instability.
This is well known, even in arab and iranian capitals.
As long as Israel is not spared, in the words of Hilary Clinton, ‘It was worth it’.
There is no honour anymore, America, Europe and Russia lost their honour and in the muslim world there whas never honour only intolerant violence. But if this next genocide is allowed they should hang Trump, Putin, all European leaders and Of course Erdogan as they did with the other butchers in Nuremberg. This is a crime against humanity as whas the holocaust and Armenia.

They always have these farcical names like “well of peace” lol
To me it sounds like the same BS as the US call their operations.
I was thinking the same,Al.
Why not call it Operation Peace of /$$?
Operation Well of Piss.
Who sent all those terrorists in in the first place. Make your mind up and stick to it!
Erdogan wants to use the moderate opposition to take back the 65% of Idlib that HTS and Al Nusra now control, and he wants to do it before the SAA get a chance to, so we have a possible race now, but as you just read, Erdogan’s also threatening to invade SDF territory as well, which sounds just a little too ambitious to me, he might be biting off more than he can chew if he tries to do both at the same time.
They will be using the real terrorists in the hope SDF will kill most of them so that afterwards Turkey can mop them up.
LOL, the US increased air and ground patrols the day before Erdogan’s safe zone ultimatum to the US expired with no positive result for Erdogan [for the third time now], LOL, so the US was already putting things in place before Erdogan could react to the bad news.
Erdogan’s pointing at Tal Abyad in Ar Raqqah but I’m watching Ras Al Ayn in Al Hasakah too, and so is the US.
Ceylanpinar in Turkey has had a large highly mobile, well trained and well equipped, armoured strike force with AA capabilities, stationed there for over a year now, so if they’re not going to be part of the invasion force itself, it means they’re probably there to cut off any Kurdish assistance that may try to get to Tal Abyad using the highway, which would then help to isolate the area’s around Tal Abyad.
But the US knows that too, they have an even bigger force waiting for them, LOL.

Bunch of idiots jumping up and down
lol noob
Turkey should crush the US-SDF. After the Kurdish traitors have been cleansed, then Turkey and Syria can return back to the normal of 15 years ago.
The normal of 15 to 20 years ago was a near war between the two countries.
Let us hope, for all parties, that the report is wrong.
Turkey and the USA embroiled in a war with each other in E Syria
These US/NATO flunkies need to be taken out once and for all. Then the Turks must leave.
This report is consistent with the news about Syria and Russia joint construction of bridges in the Deir-Ezzor area. I am assuming behind the lines Turks and Russians have talked about some kind of “uncoordinated on the surface” assault against the PKK. Turkey from north, Syria and its allies from south. I’d say that’s a good plan to crush PKK. Syrian army won’t have a difficult fight against PKK rats.
Once the PKK rats are dealt with, Turkey is easier to negotiate than the fuckface that is U.S.
That new bridge at Deir-Ezzor has nothing to do with the Turks. The bridge was built to restore civilian and commercial traffic across the river so the region’s economy can be restored.
