Free Syrian Army (FSA) factions backed by the Turkish Army “neutralized” 21 ISIS terrorists on Friday in northern Syria as part of Operation Euphrates Shield, Anadolu news agency reported citing a statement from the Turkish military.
According to the statement, FSA fighters hit 156 ISIS positions, including shelters, buildings and vehicles. Turkish warplanes bombed 12 ISIS targets in al-Bab city, Suflaniyyah, and Qabr al-Maqri in northern Syria.
Turkish military sources usually use the word “neutralized” to mean that the target was either killed or captured.
On 24 August, Turkey-backed FSA factions started Operation Euphrates Shield in northern Syria and have since liberated the cities of Jarablus and al-Raei in addition to dozens of villages in Aleppo countryside. FSA fighters have been advancing towards al-Bab and are now on the outskirts of the city.
