Free Syrian Army Liberates 4 Northern Syria Villages From Daesh - Reports

The fighters of the Free Syrian Army have liberated four villages in the country’s north near the city of Jarablus from Daesh terrorists.

ANKARA (Sputnik) — According to the DHA and Anadolu news agencies, the liberated villages include Kaklijah and Kivircik,

Ankara announced early on Wednesday that Turkish forces, reinforced by US-led coalition aircraft, had begun a military operation to clear the Syrian border town of Jarablus of Daesh terrorists. Media reports emerged of a massive presence of rebels in the wake of the Jarablus offensive along the Syria-Turkey border, which are allegedly fighting under the banner of the Free Syrian Army.

The US-led coalition of more than 60 nations has been conducting anti-Daesh airstrikes in Syria and Iraq since 2014. The airstrikes in Syria, however, are not authorized by the government of President Bashar Assad or by the UN Security Council.
