The ALF intensified its operations against the Turkish military and its proxies in Afrin and its surroundings in the last few days. On July 31, the group’s fighters destroyed a battle tank and two fortified positions of the Turkish Armed Forces in southern Afrin.
Despite these repeated attacks, the Turkish military has not taken any new measures to improve security in the area under its occupation.
