More than 2,250 terrorists have been killed, wounded or captured in northern Syria in a Turkish-backed operation launched late August, the Turkish military said in a statement Friday.

Operation Euphrates Shield has resulted in 1,940 Daesh fighters and 315 PKK/PYD terrorists being “neutralized”, the Turkish General Staff said in a weekly briefing note on the 150-day campaign to eliminate the terror threat along Turkey’s southern border.

The operation has been focused on the Daesh-held town of Al-Bab since early December. Free Syrian Army fighters supported by Turkish forces have reached the town’s western and northern outskirts, the statement said. On Thursday, they took control of the village of Suflaniyah.

The military said 227 residential areas and 1,875 square kilometers (724 square miles) of land had been secured along northern Syria’s Azaz to Jarabulus corridor that runs parallel to the Turkish frontier.

The Turkish Air Force had hit 1,237 targets, the statement added. More than 3,000 improvised explosive devices and 43 land mines were disarmed.

Operations against the PKK in southeast Turkey over the last week had resulted in the disruption of key supply routes in Agri, Tunceli, Bitlis, Hakkari, Diyarbakir, Mardin and Sirnak provinces as well as the destruction of permanent shelters, the statement said.

Over that period, 78 PKK terrorists were killed and weapons and equipment, including mortars and bomb-making gear, were destroyed.

Two members of the security forces were martyred and another two wounded.

More than 1,200 security forces personnel and civilians, including women and children, have lost their lives in PKK attacks since July 2015, when the terrorist group fully resumed its decades-old armed campaign. Counter-terrorism operations have seen more than 10,000 PKK terrorists killed or apprehended.

**************

Twenty-three Daesh terrorists were ‘neutralized’ in northern Syria over the last 24 hours as part of Operation Euphrates Shield, the Turkish military said early Friday.

Turkish authorities use the word "neutralized" in their statements to imply the terrorists in question were either killed, captured or surrounded.

Turkish Armed Forces also hit 224 Daesh targets, including shelters, defense points, command and control facilities, and vehicles in Al Bab, Bzagah, and Suflaniyah regions, said a Turkish General Staff statement.

Coalition forces also hit four targets on the 150th day of the operation.

The Turkish army is supporting Free Syrian Army fighters in their fight to liberate Al-Bab from the terrorist group.

Since the start of the operation, 3,014 handmade explosives and 43 mines have been neutralized under controlled conditions, Turkish military added.

Operation Euphrates Shield began in late August to tighten border security, eliminate the terror threat along Turkish borders, and support opposition forces in Syria. The Free Syrian Army is backed by Turkish artillery and jets as a part of the operation.

Turkey has sent over 700 aid trucks over the past two months as part of a governmental aid campaign for Syria, according to the Turkiye Diyanet Foundation (TDV) on Friday.

"So far, [since Nov. 16], 707 aid trucks have been sent to [southern] Hatay, Gaziantep and Kilis provinces [along the Turkish-Syrian border] as part of the 'Don't Let Humanity Die in Aleppo' campaign organized by the Presidency of Religious Affairs and Turkiye Diyanet Foundation," vice chairman of TDV's Board of Trustees, Mazhar Bilgin, told reporters in Kilis.

"We have received nearly 145 million Turkish liras ($38 million) [worth of aid] in cash and kind," Bilgin said.

He said the humanitarian aid supplies, which came from contributors both at home and abroad, were first stored and counted at three separate logistic warehouses in the three border provinces.

"Then we decide how the aid is going to be transported to regions and camps we [TDV] are responsible of."

Bilgin went on to say that in addition to this aid, 100,000 loaves of bread were baked daily to be delivered to the Syrians.

"60,000 loaves [of bread] are baked at bakeries in Kilis, while the remaining 40,000 are baked at several bakeries rented in Syria.

"We also deliver fresh meals for 15,000 people per day. Each meal package consists of two varieties. We also provide breakfast," he said.

Syria has been locked in a devastating civil war since early 2011, when the Bashar al-Assad regime cracked down on pro-democracy protests – which erupted as part of the Arab Spring uprisings – with unexpected ferocity.

Since then, hundreds of thousands of people are believed to have been killed and millions more displaced by the conflict.

Five Turkish soldiers were martyred and nine others injured in a car bomb attack by Daesh terrorist organization during Operation Euphrates Shield near the Daesh-held city of Al-Bab in northern Syria on Friday, according to the Turkish military.

The Turkish General Staff said the attack took place in Suflaniyah Village, northeast of Al-Bab.

The injured soldiers were rushed to nearby hospitals in southern Turkey's Gaziantep and Kilis provinces.

Earlier on Friday, 23 Daesh terrorists were killed in northern Syria over the last 24 hours as part of Operation Euphrates Shield, the military said.

Friday marks the 150th day of Operation Euphrates Shield, which began in late August to tighten border security, eliminate the terror threat along Turkish borders, and support opposition forces in Syria. The Free Syrian Army is backed by Turkish artillery and jets as a part of the operation.

http://www.businessinsider.com/us-airstrike-al-qaeda-syria-2017-1

Last evening, the US military killed more than 100 al Qaeda fighters in an airstrike on a training camp in Syria. The US has launched five attacks against al Qaeda’s network in Syria since the beginning of 2017.

A B-52 bomber and a number of remotely piloted aircraft, more commonly known as drones, were involved in the strike, US officials told The Associate Press. It is unclear if any senior al Qaeda leaders were killed.

The location of the training camp was not disclosed. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported that last evening an “unidentified drone” targeted “Regiment 111,” a base in western Aleppo near the border of Idlib province.

It is unclear if the strike on the al Qaeda camp and the attack on Regiment 111 are the same incident, however, they do appear to be one in the same.

At the beginning of January, more than 20 al Qaeda operatives were killed in a pair of airstrikes in Syria. On Jan. 1, US warplanes hit a convoy of al Qaeda operatives as they left a headquarters near Sarmada. The Pentagon estimated that 5 fighters were killed.

Two days later, on Jan. 3, the Pentagon estimated that it killed more than 15 al Qaeda personnel when it targeted multiple buildings and vehicles in the Sarmada headquarters. Among those reported killed were Abu Khattab al-Qahtani, another al Qaeda veteran who is said to have fought in Afghanistan and Yemen, and Abu Omar al-Turkistani, a senior member in the al Qaeda-affiliated Turkistan Islamic Party who is reported to have served as a leader in JFS. [See FDD’s Long War Journal report, Pentagon: Airstrikes kill 20 or more al Qaeda fighters in northern Syria.]

Yesterday, the Pentagon announced that two al Qaeda leaders were killed in bombings in Syria on Jan. 12 and Jan. 17. Among those killed were Mohammad Habib Boussadoun al-Tunisi, who was described as an external operations leader, and Abd al-Jalil al-Muslimi, an al Qaeda veteran of Afghanistan and Syria who was trained by the Taliban and supported attacks against the West. [See FDD’s Long War Journal report, US kills al Qaeda facilitator and external ops planner in Syrian airstrikes.]

The US military has targeted al Qaeda’s cadre in Syria since September 2014, and has killed multiple high profile leaders over the past several years. However, the Islamic State has been the focus of the vast majority of the 6,647 Coalition airstrikes in Syria as of Jan. 19, 2017, according to Operation Inherent Resolve.

With five strikes against al Qaeda in Syria over the past 20 days, the US military may be signaling that the global jihadist group will get more attention over the coming months.

Armored vehicles have become obsolete in today's warfare environment. Unless they would be equipped with proper active protection systems.
Look at what happened to the mighty Leopard! Now what makes it look different from an ancient T-72?!

Armor will never become obsolete. It's something that will always be needed, airstrikes alone will not accomplish everything, if that was the case, ISIS and many other terrorist organizations would be long destroyed.



It's inevitable that some armor will be lost to IEDs and ATGMs. In the case with Turkey, they just have poor planning and from the looks of it poorly trained soldiers. So much for the NATO stronk! More experience militaries such as the US, Britain, Russia, ect would almost certainly perform better and have less armor losses.

It comes down to how the armor is used.

No doubt about the importance and impact of training and experience in any aspect of modern warfare. That's one of the most important factors, shaping the out come of any battle!

And also no doubt about the significance of the armored forces in providing protection and fire support which is also unignorable!

But the point here is, the ATGM threat to the armor is seriously getting beyond control so that the armor is losing its purpose of proper protection! And the only way to stop this unbalanced superiority of the anti-armor, is to develop Active Protection systems. Specially the Hard kill variants.

These groups in Syria seems to have almost unlimited access to modern ATGMs, so that they use them in mass numbers even against infantry squads! Non of the Armies you mentioned has ever experienced such high level of Anti-armor threats!

Israel was the first to experience, It was the first to to take it serious!

For Fsa lovers Aleppo sunnis Civilians loving Shia dictator Murderer Dr bashar and his army .

That's not entirely true, the Syrian regime has been fighting and killing any party or group that opposes it, even the FSA who was formed at the beginning of the uprisings by mostly Syrian soldiers who refused to follow orders and shoot at their own people thus defecting to the opposition. So the Syrian government has been fighting the opposition wayyyyy before anything like ISIS ever came into existence.if anything ISIS has been of great help to the Assad regime, since it has helped him in labelling anybody that opposes his government as a ISIS sympathiser/terrorists. Lol To be honest though ISIS has helped not just the Assad regime but also other world and regional powers to get involved in Syria using ISIS as a justification/excuse. Lol

Plus, the fundamental reasons for the Arab uprisings are still even more present in Syria , just like they were in Egypt , Tunisia, Yemen etc. Assad should have just left power like Mubarak did(though forced to by his army), Ben Ali, or Saleh(though forced as well.lol ). He has only himself to blame for the current situation of his country. Egypt will be in the same situation if not for the Egyptian army being more professional and skilled to act decisively to remove Mubarak from power and refusing to shoot and kill its own people who rose up back then. The after shocks(civil wars) are all just secondary effects of brutal dictationships and greedy dictators.

Hope above pics help u get reality why would SAA leave when majority of Sunnis love SAA and want Dr bashar as their leader .If few $100 per month foreign sponsored Fsa mercenaries who can under the disguise of innocent civilians and in bed with Isis protest in street this doesn't mean whole Syria is supporting them

Merkava suffered very small casualties in Lebanon and zero casualties in recent Gaza operation. T-90 is just rebranded T-72 which was destroyed by thousands.

Assad thugs sent to Deir ez Zor. They don't look very happy to die for Assad's butt.
