A spokesman for the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), Talal Silo, has reportedly defected to Turkish-backed forces operating in northern Syria. According to reports, Silo fled from the SDF to the territory seized by Turkey and its proxies during the Operation Euphrates Shield: the Al-Bab-Jarabulus-Azaz triangle.
