It's unclear when #Turkey and its proxies will attack NE Syria because #US troops have to leave the area first.
#Trump said he decided to withdraw #US troops from NE Syria because it's time for the US to get out of endless wars.
The #US announces it has “shut down #Turkish participation in the air. Right now they are controlling the airspace over Northeast Syria. [...]. They have no intention in the immediate near future to change that".
Tel Abyad is silent right now. Civilians are scared by the upcoming #Turkish-#FSA offensive. Some of them have already left the town.

Footage showing weapons #FSA is sending to the frontline (+ a lot of boring words).
#US Pentagon fought back against pulling US troops from Northeast Syria after #Trump's call with #Erdogan.

[Ty to @leventkemaI].
Footage shot few hours ago showing #Turkish vehicles involved in the operation against #SDF/#YPG.
Pics of the first areas taken by #Turkey (btw, they are very close to the border).


Sadly, I had to delete a video previously published by Asayish which was from Iraq.
Here is the live situation right now: it seems pretty calm.

Yeterday there were news of a #FSA unit defecting because of this offensive. The statement was fake: nobody has defected.
Footage showing young men (unclear if #SDF-#YPG members or just civilians who wanted to help) loading magazines.
Confirmed (finally) footage showing night clashes between #SDF-#YPG and #FSA.

Very short footage showing #Turkish troops involved last night in the operation against #YPG and #SDF.
Footage showing Turkey shelling an alleged #SDF-#YPG position near Tel Abyad.
Lol.
It seems that #YPG have captured 5 #FSA near Tel Abyad (I'm not sure if in the countryside).

Footage of the 5 men (according to pro-#SDF sources, this is an #FSA cell) captured by #YPG near Tel Abyad.

[Aggressive/hateful comments under this tweet will be 100% reported].
#SNA members today before the beginning of the offensive against #SDF-#YPG.
Pro-#Assad news agency SANA reports that #SDF have retreated from the area of clashes.
As always, pro-#Assad news agency SANA confirms to be trash.
Reports of #SDF retreating are fake.
Civilians in Kobane took to the streets to protest against #Turkish-TFSA military operation. They are dancing and singing.
Reports of Yasbah village again under #SDF control. Anyway, no pics or videos yet.
Also #FSA Fatih Sultan Mehmet takes part to the offensive against #SDF-#YPG.



Pro-#TFSA sources report that #Turkish backed units have captured the 2nd checkpoint in Eastern Ras Al-Ayn.

It seems that #TFSA has captured an #SDF-#YPG ammo depot with a lot of weapons.
Pro-#Iran militants have attacked #SDF positions along the Euphrates in Southern Syria.
In response to pro-#Iran militants attacks against #SDF positions along the Euphrates in Southern Syria, warplanes (probably #US ones) airstriked multiple structures near Abu Kamal.
This evening, #Turkey shelled an area close to a #US military base on Mashtenour hill, near Kobane. Apparently, "the shelling was so heavy that US personnel considered firing back in self-defense".
In response to the shelling of #Kobane, #SDF targeted and heavily damaged a police station (on #Turkish soil).
According to the #UN, #Turkish offensive has displaced more than 100 000 people in just 2 days. Moreover, "access to water is deteriorating in some places".
#TFSA has captured al-Sinah neighborood (I'm not 100% sure about the name) in Ras al-Ayn.
Footage shot by #YPJ in al-Sinah neighborood, Ras al-Ayn, some minutes before #TFSA captured it (not sure if this is exactly the same area that can be seen in the 2 previous videos I've uploaded).
#Turkish MoD says that Ras Al-Ayn has been captured.
Anyway, as always, proofs are needed.
Leninist unit in the ranks of #SDF declares it will fight against #TFSA and #Turkey.
ANHA News (pro-#SDF) announces that Hervin Khalaf (SG of the Syria's Future Party) was not killed by #TFSA or #Turkey on the M4 highway but by #Isis near Qamishlo.

#Turkish airplanes dropped leaflets on Tel Abyad asking people to stay away from #SDF.


#TFSA al-Majd Corps (Faylaq al-Majd) claims to have destroyed an #SDF vehicle.

Correction: #TFSA announced to have captured Ziyabeya village. Sorry for the mistake.
[Many thanks to @allushiii].
3 armed people (cannot say if they are #SDF members or civilians who want to resist against the #Turkish offensive) question the legitimacy of this offensive and say that clashes are ongoing.
Less than 1 hour ago, an #SDF commander in Ras al-Ayn said that clashes were stil ongoing in the town.
[Thanks to @kelareshh].
According to this video, it seems then that Hervin Khalef's vehicle was stopped by Ahrar al-Sharqiyah on the M4 highway. Considering that she was later killed, there are few doubts about who did it.
#US convoy photographed by #Russia|n journalist and PMC (Private Military Contractor) in #Manbij few hours ago.


According to the #UN, #Turkish offensive has displaced more than 130 000 people.

Last night, #SDF and #YPG have been able to expel #Turkish backed units from Ras al-Ayn.
Civilian channels in #Manbij report that a civilian vehicle was hit by an ATGM launched by "defense forces" (don't know what does it mean to be honest).
Ahrar al Sharqiyah celebrated the "killing of 4 pigs (#SDF fighters) in Suluk town. One appears to steal a watch off of one of the bodies".
It seems that #TFSA has retaken control on some sections of the M4 highway.
Very interesting pic from Ras al-Ayn this morning: on the left, next to the 3 #YPG members, there is a guy wearing the patch of the Christian militia named 'Column of martyr Nubar Ozanyan'.

It seems that #US forces are leaving Kobane after "#Turkish jet buzzed" the area.
Still totally unclear who controls Ayn Issa camp: #SDF claims to control it after #TFSA said the same thing some minutes ago. And this happened while there were reports on >700 #Isis foreign fighters escaping from the camp.
The #US is preparing to evacuate around 1000 US soldiers remaining in Northern Syria.
#TFSA al-Majd Corps targeted an #SDF position with an ATGM missile in Tel Abyad.
Man in Ras al-Ayn crying because he has lost 3 children due to the #Turkish offensive.
Very GRAPHIC footage showing the result of a #Turkish airstrike on a group of people in Ras al-Ayn.
Some say they were civilians, others say they were militants (considering there are weapons near the bodies). It's just horrible.
#US Defense Secretary Esper said: “#Turkey now intend to go further south [in Syria] than originally expected and to go both west and east [...].#Washington believes that the #Kurds are about to agree with #Damascus, #Moscow to confront Turkey".
It seems that the vehicles destroyed by a #Turkish airstrike in Ras al-Ayn was carrying journalists and #SDF members. This explains why there were many weapons near there.
It was just a mine and not a #US airstrike. I forgot that #SAA are able to run into mines almost everywhere in this world.
@AlMayadeenNews reports that #SAA units have reached Tabqa and are heading to Northern areas.
[h/t @JensHittrien].
The #US says Coalition troops will be immediately "moved out of Syria". #US troops will remain only in al-Tanf. The withdrawal includes personnel and military equipment.
"All border areas and administrational centres will be taken over by the Syrian government".
Say goodbye to any autonomous region in the NorthEast Syria.
#TFSA in #Manbij countryside captured...a #SAA tank.
Syrian Arab Army has reached the area less than 24 hours ago.
#Russia|n warplanes are flying over #Manbij. But news about an airstrike targeting #TFSA are false.
Footage showing a heavily wounded child due to #Turkish-#TFSA assault in Ras al-Ayn.
Another footage of this #Russia|n PMC inside the #US base in #Manbij abandoned this morning.
While #SAA was heading to Northern Syria yesterday, considering the "high quality" of the Syrian Army, someone in the crowd said: "they will soon eat sh*t".
Both #Italy and the #UK suspend arm exports to #Turkey.
This is pretty important: some of the helicopter gunships used by Turkey are produced in Italy.
1 #Turkish soldier killed in #Manbij countryside.
The offensive on this area has not even started.
"#Turkey and Syrian regime are in dialogue in real time through their MoD, intel services and MoFA.
So don't think something incredible will happen.
It seems that official news about #SAA forces controlling Raqqa were exaggerated: some Syrian Army convoys are just there.
Pic posted by #Russia|n "journalist" inside the #US base in #Manbij abandoned this morning.

Oleg Blokhin, the #Russia|n journalist-PMC really enjoyed the #US base in #Manbij abandoned this morning.
Here is another footage published by Oleg Blokhin, the #Russia|n journalist-PMC inside the #US base in #Manbij.
It seems that uknown warplanes airstriked a #SAA military convoy in #Minbij.
Civilians in #Manbij did not appreciate the entry of a #SAA convoy in the area. They followed it and started insulting the soldiers.
