On December 24, the Kurdish People’s Protection Units (YPG) released a fresh propaganda video showing the group’s efforts against ISIS in the town of Hajin in the Syrian province of Deir Ezzor. The video shows the YPG’s “deep” involvement in anti-ISIS efforts of the US-led coalition and is obviously aimed at showing the importance of the group in this field.
The YPG is a core of the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces. The withdrawal of US troops from Syria will be a major blow to the Kurdish-dominated group because it makes it vulnerable for Turkish attacks in northern Syria.
