Turkey to step up offensive against Kurds, expected to launch full-scale invasion of Syria: Report – Firstpost

Guerrilla Resistance in Zap
The occupying Turkish army seeks to turn southern Kurdistan (northern Iraq) into a military zone, bombarding several locations almost every day. The Turkish state has used all dirty methods against both the Kurdish people and the Kurdish Freedom Movement for 10 years within the framework of the ‘Collapse Plan’ it drafted in October 2014. Now, in southern Kurdistan, it is wearing the clothes of the KDP’s Zêrevanî forces to avoid being targeted by the guerrillas.
Every night there is activity in the areas of Amediyê and Geliyê Reşova. Since October, the Turkish army has been regularly striking the villages in Amediyê. Stating that the lock in Zap is closed, the Turkish army is transporting troops, logistics equipment and ammunition to Western Zap almost every day. Especially since the beginning of November, it has intensified its military and logistics equipment deliveries to Sergelê Gorge, Dêrelok and Geliyê Reşova areas. Zêrevanî forces of the ruling KDP guard many places where the Turkish army has built outposts.
They encircle the area they occupy with wires weighing tens of tonnes, they monitor and listen to the surroundings with dozens of surveillance cameras and sound sensors. Not content with this, howitzers and mortars are randomly fired into the terrain; reconnaissance planes constantly circle the area, cobra helicopters scan the hills, around villages and fields.
Despite all this, the guerrillas both continue their resistance and strike a blow to the invaders with their actions.

What Does The Fall Of Assad’s Syria Mean To The Key Players In The Middle East?
The lightning-quick removal on 8 December of Syria’s President Bashar al-Assad after 53 years of Assad family rule will have seismic effects on the Middle East for years to come.BYTESEU (Bytes Europe)
General Mohammad Jafar Asadi, deputy commander of Khatam al-Anbiyaa HQ:
– #Assad said to one of our (Iranian) officials in a meeting: 'My soldiers have truly become either smugglers or thieves, they only defend those who offer them bribes and privileges. They could not defend me, and when I wanted to protect at least Damascus, I realized that they were not able to protect Damascus either.'
– Bashar al-Assad did not allow us (the IRGC) to go help the Syrian Arab Army, although he asked us for assistance in the past, but this time he not only did not ask, but he was worried about us arriving, and said that 'if you come, Israel will probably attack us'.
– Turkey is a part of #NATO, and we should not see or accept the presence of this country and its influence anywhere outside of America and #Europe. Turkey is a part of them, and with this attitude, it serves America. America is active behind the scenes.
– It seems that the factions present in Syria will clash with each other based on their own different interests. Maybe separating #Syria is #Turkey's desire, because they have been coveting a part of Syria for a long time.

HBDH Nubar Ozanyan Militia; “We Took Action in 2 Provinces Against the Occupation of Rojava!”
HBDH Nubar Ozanyan Militia carried out two separate actions in Bursa and Istanbul. We share the details of the protests with the public.
1) On December 13, a car belonging to fascists was set on fire in the Nilüfer district of Bursa.
2) On December 13, a bus was hit with a Molotov and set on fire in the Yıldıztabya neighborhood of Istanbul’s Eyüp district.
After the action, our militias retreated safely to their areas. After the collapse of the Baath regime in Syria, while suffering and death are still rampant in the regions dominated by the gangs directly controlled by the Turkish state, which is described as “oppositionist” by the fascist Turkish state and other global powers, a future of equality and peace for the peoples of Syria does not seem possible under the rule of reactionary groups. Since the first day of the attacks, the YPG and YPJ fighters, who have been fighting heroically to protect their lands and the revolution by not surrendering to the ISIS mentality, have protected the people by not allowing the invading Turkish army and the gangs under its command to pass, and have once again proved to the whole world that the Rojava Revolution is an alternative social system.
Despite the calls for a ceasefire and dialogue, the occupying Turkish army and the gang groups under its command continue their attacks and threaten the lives and property of our people in the civilian settlements they enter, and execute civilians, prisoners and wounded in violation of international war rules and morality. Against this fascism, everyone must take to the streets and prevent invasion and massacre attacks. We call on the youth, women and all revolutionary-patriotic dynamics, especially the Militia of the United Revolution, to target the institutions of the Turkish state, the occupying army members, their collaborators and all kinds of people and institutions serving the AKP-MHP fascist regime, starting from the Turkish metropolises and to Bakur Kurdistan with all the means at their disposal!
The day is the day to resist with the spirit of Kobane and to embrace the Rojava Revolution!
Long live HBDH!
Long live our united struggle!
We Will Destroy Fascism, We Will Win Freedom!

Manbij Ceasefire Goes Into Effect, Counter-Revolution Threatens Rojava
A four-day ceasefire was announced yesterday in Manbij and its countryside between the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) and the Turkish-backed “Syrian National Army,” following three days of intense clashes. The truce, reportedly aimed at facilitating political solutions and prisoner exchanges, was confirmed by the Turkish-backed Syrian National Army faction, which stated that the agreement seeks to “implement humanitarian and security understandings, including the withdrawal of SDF members and their families from the region.” However, skirmishes continued near Tishreen Dam in northeastern Aleppo, sending a clear Turkish message that the agreement applies only to Manbij, signaling its intent to maintain operations until it secures control over the entire border with Syria.
Meanwhile, the SDF and the Autonomous Administration expressed their readiness for dialogue and to initiate a political transition in the country. SDF Commander Mazloum Abdi reiterated the organization’s willingness to facilitate the return of the tomb of Suleiman Shah to Ain al-Arab. Additionally, the Autonomous Administration announced the adoption of Syria’s new flag across its institutions, reaffirming the region’s integral connection to Syria’s territorial unity. The adoption of this flag after the counter-revolutionary offensive signals increased problems for the Rojava experiment.
According to Al-Akhbar, their sources revealed that a delegation comprising SDF leaders, tribal representatives, and local officials from Al-Hasakah will visit Damascus to discuss the future of northeastern Syria. The delegation plans to advocate for the preservation of the Autonomous Administration as a model for Syria’s administrative and military framework. Meanwhile, US and French diplomats are reportedly mediating talks between Turkey and the SDF to address security concerns, including the management of ISIS prisons and camps in SDF-controlled areas. Turkey, however, is expected to demand that the SDF dissolve itself, sever ties with the PKK, and expel PKK members from Syria in exchange for political representation in the new government.
Internally, the SDF faces mounting challenges threatening its military structure. Protests erupted in several cities in Deir Ezzor, Aleppo, and Al-Hasakah, demanding a transfer of control to the Military Operations Administration. Several high-ranking members of the SDF’s Deir Ezzor Military Council have defected, including its leader, Abu Laith Khasham, who joined the Military Operations Administration, in affiliation with HTS. This marks the fifth defection within the council. Amid these tensions, the SDF’s security arm imposed a curfew across northeastern Syria, citing the need to safeguard public safety.
Furthermore, reports state that a draft of terms was sent to the SDF from the HTS regime. The new state demands that the Syrian government be recognized as the sole authority, that Arab areas are handed over to the military, that PKK cadres are expelled from the country (meaning the dissolution of the YPG and allied revolutionary forces), Arab prisoners are released, border crossings would now be administered by the counter-revolutionary state, and foreign ISIS prisoners be released to the new state.
