Free Syrian Army (FSA) factions backed by the Turkish Army “neutralized” 18 ISIS terrorists on Sunday in northern Syria as part of Operation Euphrates Shield, Anadolu Agency reported citing the Turkish military.
During the last 24 hours the operation targeted 180 ISIS positions including shelters, buildings and vehicles. Turkish warplanes also hit 8 ISIS positions in the city of al-Bab.
Turkish military sources usually use the word “neutralized” to mean that the target was either killed or captured.
Moreover, activists said that an ISIS car bomb hit the village of Aniviyah near al-Bab killing at least 13 people and injuring others.
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.
